      La posturologie traite les douleurs chroniques, les instabilités et sensations vertigineuses liées aux dysfonctionnements en relation avec la position debout. Les informations de position du corps dans l’espace, venant du vestibule, des rétines et de la sole plantaire, sont intégrées par le système nerveux central en tenant compte des informations proprioceptives des positions réciproques du vestibule, de l’oeil et du pied. La complexité de ce système laisse entrevoir les multiples causes possibles de dysfonctionnement, à l’origine de situations douloureuses pour les patients. Ce guide, rédigé par une équipe pluridisciplinaire, dresse un état des lieux précis de l’examen clinique en posturologie et des traitements les plus récents. Il fait le point sur les concepts, modèles, outils et méthodes d’investigation relevant du champ thématique général de la posture et du mouvement chez l’homme. Pratique et concis, l’ouvrage propose une synthèse des nouveautés et avancées de la recherche dans cette discipline avec, en support pratique, les différents tests d’évaluation et d’épreuves.

This new edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest standards and scope of practice put forth by the ASPMN. Yet, it still retains its strong nursing focus as it explores the nurse’s role as a patient advocate in pain management and how that role changes from a Registered Nurse to a Clinical Nurse Specialist to a Nurse Practitioner. Both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic methods of pain management are discussed, as is a wide variety of patient subsets beyond the traditional pediatric, adult, and geriatric patient. If you’re looking to pass the ASPMN credentialing exam and work successfully with all types of patients in pain, then this is the perfect text for you!
