      Cerebral Palsy in Infancy is a thought-provoking book which introduces a new way of thinking on the development and use of interventions. Relevant to current practice, it advocates early, targeted activity that is focused on increasing muscle activation, training basic actions and minimizing (or preventing) mal-adaptive changes to muscle morphology and function. The authors present recent scientific findings in brain science, movement sciences (developmental biomechanics, motor control mechanisms, motor learning, exercise science) and muscle biology. This knowledge provides the rationale for active intervention, underpinning the need for an early referral to appropriate services. The book features methods for promoting relatively intensive physical activity in young infants without placing a burden on parents which include assistive technologies such as robotics, electronic bilateral limb trainers and baby treadmills. Cerebral Palsy in Infancy begins by specifying the guidelines for training and exercise, outlining the rationale for such intervention. It goes on to cover the fundamentals of neuromotor plasticity and the development and negative effects of limited motor activity on brain organization and corticospinal tract development. Neuromuscular adaptations to impairments and inactivity are discussed along with the General Movement assessment that can provide early diagnosis and prognosis, facilitating very early referral from paediatric specialists to training programs. The book ends with a section featuring various methods of training with the emphasis on preventing/minimizin... muscle contracture, stimulating biomechanically critical muscle activity and joint movement. An ideal clinical reference for those working to improve the lives of infants suffering from cerebral palsy. CONTRIBUTORS: Adel Abdullah Alhusaini (Saudi Arabia); David I.

      La société demande aux professionnels de santé une « prise en soin » rapide, efficace, standardisée – pour offrir à tous les mêmes chances – et peu onéreuse. La personne accueillie attend quant à elle un soin personnalisé, des soignants disponibles, de l'écoute, de la chaleur humaine. Le professionnel peut se sentir perdu entre ces exigences et ces besoins contradictoires, et ses propres attentes de reconnaissance et de valorisation. Les maltraitances « ordinaires » qui surviennent au quotidien dans tous nos établissements résultent souvent de cet état de fait. Elles ne doivent pas être acceptées et doivent être connues, dépistées et prévenues. Les professionnels doivent être formés pour savoir comment réagir face à ces déviances. Cet ouvrage collectif dresse un panorama complet de la problématique de la bientraitance en milieux de soins. Après avoir situé le contexte historique et idéologique de la bientraitance et défini les notions essentielles (humanisme médical, éthique et sens du soin), juridiques et réglementaires, il donne les clés pour reconnaître une situation de maltraitance et savoir comment réagir. Bientraitance et maltraitance sont tour à tour décortiquées à travers des témoignages de patients, de proches, et de soignants, des résultats d'enquêtes, et des exemples concrets propres à chacune des spécialités abordées (accompagnement en fin de vie, médecine pénitentiaire, cancérologie, imagerie, médecine humanitaire, néonatalogie, infectiologie, prise en charge médicosociale, etc.). Tous les points de vue sont pris en compte afin de proposer des solutions réalistes qui permettront aux équipes soignantes de retrouver le sens de leur métier et de mettre en place les conditions propices à une véritable qualité de vie au travail.

      Prepared by an international authority, Therapeutic Stretching: Towards a Functional Approach offers a highly accessible account of the latest information regarding the role of therapeutic stretching in the management of restricted range of movement (ROM) disorders. Richly illustrated throughout, this exciting new volume covers the physiological basis of stretching, explores its classification and examines what is normal and abnormal in terms of ROM. Chapters then explain the processes that are associated with ROM loss and recovery as well as what makes stretching effective. The experience of pain, sensitization and pain tolerance in relation to stretching and ROM recovery are also discussed. Embracing the latest scientific research, this revolutionary book debunks many traditionally accepted stretching theories and associated techniques and supplants them with a more robust, scientifically valid system of practice. Accompanied by a range of practical on-line videos and over 150 photographs, this volume will be ideal for all manual and physical therapists, sports and personal trainers, and athletes who require special movement ranges. "This is a highly enjoyable and well presented book that I recommend for any clinician from student to experienced practitioner. It is suitable for all physiotherapists, manual therapists, sports physiotherapists/the... strength and conditioning coaches, sports scientists, athletes and patients who would like to understand, recover and improve their range and ease of movement."
