    • French
    La marche constitue un processus extrêmement complexe qui implique des fonctions motrices, sensitives et intégratrices : c’est un défi que l’homme relève quotidiennement.Son étude constitue donc un enjeu majeur de la kinésithérapie/physi... et de la rééducation médico-chirurgicale. Qu’elle soit normale ou pathologique, sa compréhension fait appel à des mécanismes que tout kinésithérapeute, ou thérapeute, doit impérativement maîtriser. Cet ouvrage, véritable référence sur le sujet, aborde la marche, normale et pathologique, de l’enfant au sujet âgé. Il traite de l’ensemble du contrôle moteur en lien avec la locomotion, intégrant : - le contrôle de l’équilibre - la marche humaine et les pathologies locomotrices - l’évaluation clinique et les nouvelles applications thérapeutiques - la course. De nombreux points clés à retenir, des résumés, des encadrés et un quizz d’entraînement à la fin de chaque chapitre permettent de renforcer les apprentissages. L’orientation évidence based practice est toujours donnée. Cet ouvrage très complet s'adresse aux étudiants en IFMK, aux ostéopathes en formation mais aussi à tous ces praticiens diplômés en exercice. Les professionnels impliqués dans la rééducation et la pratique sportive (STAPS, ergothérapeutes, podologues, thérapeutes manuels, médecins de rééducation, médecins du sport et de traumatologie, préparateurs physiques, responsables pédagogiques, enseignants...) y trouveront les réponses à des problématiques souvent transversales.
