      Nouvelle approche manipulative. Membre inférieur, explique comment traiter les différents paramètres qui contribuent à déstabiliser et rendre douloureuse une articulation, os, cartilage, labrum, ménisque, bourse synoviale, ligaments actifs et passifs, artère, veine et nerfs. Améliorer une articulation ne se limite pas à régler un problème local, cela peut aussi interférer sur le comportement général et social de la personne. Les techniques proposées sont innovantes et originales, non iatrogènes et elles peuvent s'appliquer aussi bien sur les cas aigus que chroniques. La finalité de ce livre est d'apprendre à être plus complet et plus précis lors d'un traitement articulaire pour aller au-delà du simple intérêt mécanique local. Ce livre s'adresse aux ostéopathes confirmés et en formation, aux kinésithérapeutes et aux thérapeutes de médecine manuelle qui souhaitent approfondir leur pratique et enrichir leurs champs d'action.

      Ce guide pratique est consacré à la principale méthode de surveillance du bien-être du fœtus au cours du travail : le rythme cardiaque fœtal (RCF). La première partie fait un rappel concis du vocabulaire spécifique, des règles de bonne utilisation du RCF et des principaux critères de son analyse. L'essentiel de l'ouvrage est ensuite basé sur un corpus d'exercices d'analyse du RCF dans des situations cliniques concrètes. Plaçant le professionnel en situation de terrain, chaque exercice est structuré sous forme de fiche de travail comportant une série de questions standardisées concernant l'interprétation du tracé et la prise en charge à proposer jusqu'à l'accouchement. Tous les cas cliniques présentés sont réels, et l'issue du travail et l'état néonatal sont indiqués à la fin de l'exercice, permettant ainsi au lecteur de contrôler la qualité de la conduite à tenir proposée. Enfin, l'ouvrage aborde également les aspects médico-légaux, ceux de la gestion du risque et des bonnes pratiques cliniques, indissociables de la pratique obstétricale moderne. Analyse pratique du RCF est un outil de formation et d'entraînement indispensable pour les sages-femmes et les obstétriciens.
