      LA COLLECTIONLes ouvrages de la collection Les indispensables en kinésithérapie et physiothérapie, sous la supervision d’Adrien Pallot, font écho à la réforme de 2015 des études de kinésithérapie en France, leur contenu étant réparti par rapport aux Unités d’Enseignement (UE) et Unités d’Intégration (UI) définies dans le nouveau programme. Répondant ainsi aux besoins des étudiant(e)s, ils seront également un outil utile à tout professionnel désireux de rester à jour.Chaque ouvrage propose, pour chaque champ de compétences professionnelles du kinésithérapeute, une démarche raisonnée basée sur l’identification des signes et symptômes du patient, puis sur leur intégration réflexive d’après le modèle biopsycho- social. Cette démarche, largement inspirée de la Classification Internationale du Fonctionnement et du Handicap, répond à l’approche par compétences instaurée par la réforme, et permet au (futur) professionnel d’apporter les meilleures réponses et soins possibles au patient.Les ouvrages de cette collection proposent, dans une maquette en couleur, des contenus solides, de haut niveau reposant sur la démarche d’evidence based practice, étayés de nombreux encadrés, illustrations et focus sur les notions essentielles. L’OUVRAGEAdoptant une approche bio-psycho-sociale dans le champ de la kinésithérapie du sport, ce volume est découpé en 6 grandes parties et 25 chapitres : définitions de l’activité physique, le sport et la kinésithérapie, les bases fondamentales dans la prise en charge du sportif, des pathologies sportives du membre supérieur, du membre inférieur et du rachis, et les problématiques spécifiques. Ces éléments pourront aider le lecteur à développer leur prise en charge des troubles du sportif sur tous les champs et à n’importe quelle étape de sa carrière.
