      Understand how a patient’s conditions might affect physical therapy and outcomes so that you can design safe and effective interventions. The only pathology textbook written specifically for physical therapists, Pathology: Implications for the Physical Therapist, Third Edition, offers guidelines, precautions, and contraindications for interventions with patients who have musculoskeletal or neuromuscular problems as well as other conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or pancreatitis. Learn about the cause of these conditions, the pathogenesis, medical diagnosis and treatment, and most importantly, the special implications for the therapist. In addition to addressing specific diseases and conditions, this text emphasizes health promotion and disease prevention strategies and covers issues with implications for physical therapy management, such as injury, inflammation, and healing; the lymphatic system; and biopsychosocial–spir... impacts on health care. With this practical and evidence-based text, now enhanced with full-color illustrations and the latest research, you’ll know what to factor into your clinical decisions to achieve the best outcomes for your patients.

      Covering the theory, design, and fabrication of orthopedic devices, Introduction to Orthotics, 4th Edition (formerly Introduction to Splinting, 3rd Edition) helps students develop the skills they need to choose and fit effective orthoses for patients with hand injuries and functional deficits. It emphasizes upper extremity splinting, with additional coverage of lower extremity orthotics and upper extremity prosthetics, and offers case studies promoting clinical reasoning and problem solving. This edition includes new chapters on orthotics of the shoulder and orthotic systems, plus online videos demonstrating fabrication and fitting techniques. Written by occupational therapy educators, this textbook/workbook is ideal for use in the classroom and as a practical resource in the clinical setting.

      Principally based on dissections of hundreds of un-embalmed human cadavers over the past decade, Functional Atlas of the Human Fascial System presents a new vision of the human fascial system using anatomical and histological photographs along with microscopic analysis and biomechanical evaluation. Prof. Carla Stecco – orthopaedic surgeon and professor of anatomy and sport activities – brings together the research of a multi-specialist team of researchers and clinicians consisting of anatomists, biomechanical engineers, physiotherapists, osteopaths and plastic surgeons. In this Atlas Prof. Stecco presents for the first time a global view of fasciae and the actual connections that describe the myofascial kinetic chains. These descriptions help to explain how fascia plays a part in myofascial dysfunction and disease as well as how it may alter muscle function and disturb proprioceptive input. Prof. Stecco also highlights the continuity of the fascial planes, explaining the function of the fasciae and their connection between muscles, nerves and blood vessels. This understanding will help guide the practitioner in selecting the proper technique for a specific fascial problem with a view to enhancing manual therapy methods. Functional Atlas of the Human Fascial System opens with the first chapter classifying connective tissue and explaining its composition in terms of percentages of fibres, cells and extracellular matrix. The second chapter goes on to describe the general characteristics of the superficial fascia from a macroscopic and microscopic point of view; while the third analyzes the deep fascia in the same manner. The subsequent five chapters describe the fasciae from a topographical perspective. In this part of the Atlas, common anatomical terminology is used throughout to refer to the various fasciae but it also stresses the continuity of fasciae between the different bodily regions.

      Bridging the gap between evidence-based research and clinical practice, Physical Therapy for the Pelvic Floor has become an invaluable resource to practitioners treating patients with disorders of the pelvic floor. The second edition is now presented in a full colour, hardback format, encompassing the wealth of new research in this area which has emerged in recent years. Kari Bø and her team focus on the evidence, from basic studies (theories or rationales for treatment) and RCTs (appraisal of effectiveness) to the implications of these for clinical practice, while also covering pelvic floor dysfunction in specific groups, including men, children, elite athletes, the elderly, pregnant women and those with neurological diseases. Crucially, recommendations on how to start, continue and progress treatment are also given with detailed treatment strategies around pelvic floor muscle training, biofeedback and electrical stimulation. "..a comprehensive review of every aspect of this area including female, male and childhood issues, incontinence, prolapse, pain and sexual dysfunction."

      Les importantes avancées médicales de ces dernières années ont permis à de nombreuses patientes atteintes de pathologies chroniques d'accéder à la grossesse. Ces mutations du monde médical ont notamment influencé le mode de travail des gynécologues-obstétr... qui ont été amenés à prendre en charge ces patientes de manière plus régulière. Au cours de leur grossesse, ces femmes seront suivies à la fois par le médecin spécialiste de la pathologie et par un médecin obstétricien. Il faut donc que le gynécologue habituellement en charge de la patiente puisse avoir un accès rapide et clair aux informations concernant la pathologie dont souffre cette dernière. Cet ouvrage doit pouvoir répondre à toutes les questions que peuvent se poser les personnes en contact avec la patiente malade : la grossesse est-elle envisageable ? Quels éléments vont devoir faire l'objet d'une surveillance chez la patiente et le fœtus ? Cette grossesse va-t-elle impliquer une modification du traitement habituel ? Des complications inhérentes à la grossesse vont-elles voir le jour ? L'ouvrage liste ainsi la grande majorité des maladies chroniques et proposent à chaque fois des rappels et une marche à suivre simple afin de gérer au mieux des situations souvent difficiles. Cet ouvrage est destiné aux gynécologues obstétriciens, aux internes, aux généralistes, aux sages-femmes, et à tous les acteurs de la prise en charge des grossesses à risque. Alexandra Benachi est professeur des universités, praticien hospitalier, chef du service de gynécologie-obstétri... et médecine de la reproduction de l'hôpital Antoine Béclère à Clamart.

      La chirurgie de la main et des nerfs périphériques est un domaine spécialisé de la chirurgie reconstructrice de l'appareil locomoteur sans pour autant n'être qu'une affaire de spécialistes : tout médecin peut y être confronté que ce soit durant ou après sa formation. Cet ouvrage se veut un outil de consultation et de communication entre les uns et les autres. Ce volume, consacré aux urgences, a pour objectif d'orienter l'interne ou le praticien non spécialiste face aux situations courantes rencontrées en urgence, qu'elles soient absolues, relatives ou différées. De la classification des lésions à leur traitement, les chapitres structurés et allant à l'essentiel sont illustrés d'exemples cliniques et de schémas pour une prise en charge rapide et efficace. Un autre volume, complément indispensable, est consacré au diagnostic et à la chirurgie des séquelles post-traumatiques, des maladies et des malformations de la main et du poignet. L'idée directrice est d'orienter au mieux le médecin de premier recours sur les possibilités thérapeutiques des pathologies fréquentes et celles moins courantes qu'il peut être initialement amené à prendre en charge.
