      Depuis sa première édition, cet atlas d’anatomie palpatoire s’est imposé comme l’outil de référence pour comprendre l’anatomie pratique et clinique du membre inférieur. Il permet : - une meilleure démarche diagnostique, la palpation constituant l’un des temps forts de l’examen clinique ; - Organisé en 4 parties : ostéologie, arthrologie, myologie, nerfs et vaisseaux, l’ouvrage présente de façon précise et concrète les différentes régions anatomiques (hanche, cuisse, genou, jambe, cheville et pied), grâce à une soixantaine de planches anatomiques en couleurs et près de 450 photographies en noir et blanc, toutes prises en situation « sur le vivant ». Chaque photographie, particulièrement soignée, est accompagnée d’un texte décrivant la technique d’approche (TA) qui permet au lecteur de retrouver immanquablement la structure recherchée. Chaque fois que nécessaire, les rappels anatomiques indispensables à une bonne application des techniques d’approche (insertions, actions, innervation) sont mentionnés. Entièrement refondue, mise à jour et augmentée, cette 5e édition offre au lecteur un nouveau schéma de lecture conforme aux programmes d’enseignement avec une ventilation par structure puis par région anatomiques. Une nouvelle maquette facilite le repérage dans l’ouvrage. À la fois manuel de référence et guide méthodologique, cet atlas s’adresse aussi bien aux étudiants qu’aux praticiens en kinésithérapie, ostéopathie, chiropraxie et podologie. Les photographies, à la fois artistique et technique, permettent une meilleure mise en relief des structures anatomiques recherchées.

      The new edition of this landmark international work builds on the previous two volumes, offering a window onto occupational therapy practice, theory and ideas in different cultures and geographies. It emphasizes the importance of critically deconstructing and engaging with the broader context of occupation, particularly around how occupational injustices are shaped through political, economic and historical factors. Centering on the wider social and political aspects of occupation and occupation-based practices, this textbook aims to inspire occupational therapy students and practitioners to include transformational elements into their practice. It also illustrates how occupational therapists from all over the world can affect positive changes by engaging with political and historical contexts. Divided into six sections, the new edition begins by analyzing the key concepts outlined throughout, along with an overview on the importance and practicalities of monitoring and evaluation in community projects. Section Two explores occupation and justice emphasizing that issues of occupational injustice are present everywhere, in different forms: from clinical settings to community-based rehabilitation. Section Three covers the enactment of different Occupational Therapies with a focus on the multiplicity of occupational therapy from the intimately personal to the broadly political. Section Four engages with the broader context of occupational therapy from the political to the financial. The chapters in this section highlight the recent financial crisis and the impact it has had on people’s everyday life. Section Five collects a range of different approaches to working to enable a notion of occupational justice. Featuring chapters from across the globe, Section Six concludes by highlighting the importance and diversity of educational practices.
