    • English
    The legacy of Geoff Maitland and his seminal work, Peripheral Manipulation, continues in this fifth edition, with Elly Hengeveld and Kevin Banks leading an international team of experts who demonstrate how to manage peripheral neuromusculoskeletal disorders using the principles and practice of the Maitland Concept. Together, they ensure the heart of the Concept beats on by promoting collaborative decision-making with the patient at centre and emphasizing the art and science of observation, listening, palpation and movement skills.A key feature of the new edition focuses on a more evidence-based and analytical view of the role of mobilization and manipulation in clinical practice. The authors have written in a way that reflects their application of the Maitland Concept and how they have integrated techniques in the light of advancement in professional knowledge. Each chapter stands alone as a ‘master class’.The text is systematically arranged focusing on detailed assessment, clinical reasoning and re-assessment to determine the physical dysfunction and efficacy of manipulative physiotherapy techniques, while also advocating continuous communication and interaction. Techniques of passive mobilization are also described, specifically designed around the individual patient’s condition.All the chapters are written from a clinical perspective and review the evidence which informs how to deal with and manage peripheral joint pain as they present to the practitioner. Furthermore, each peripheral region (craniomandibular, upper limbs and lower limbs) is considered from the point of view of best practice in analysing and hypothesising subjective data, examination, treatment and management of peripheral pain conditions.Brand new to the fifth edition is the addition of a companion website – Maitland’s Manipulation eResources (www.maitlandsresour... – providing access to a range of valuable learning materials which include videos, MCQs, interactive case studies, research links, and bonus chapters."Overall this text would be an excellent resource to any practising physiotherapist or health professional within musculoskeletal and orthopaedics from the new graduate to the experienced clinician."

    • French
    Les soins palliatifs, en plein essor, sont au cœur de l'activité professionnelle infirmière. Cet ouvrage entièrement consacré aux soins infirmiers en soins palliatifs offre une base de référence pour la prise en charge des personnes gravement malades et de leur entourage. Une première partie présente une réflexion de fond sur les soins palliatifs (cadre juridique, éthique…) en insistant sur la spécificité du soin infirmier et sur les ressources personnelles et professionnelles des soignants. Une seconde partie offre une approche utile et pertinente de la pratique démontrant comment « prendre soin » trouve tout son sens au quotidien. Ainsi, la démarche soignante est abordée à l'aide d'exemples concrets : relation d'aide, diagnostics infirmiers prévalents, les soins du corps (hygiène et bien-être corporel, alimentation, sommeil, etc.) y compris les techniques particulières, notamment dans le soulagement de la douleur. Les auteurs proposent des méthodes d'évaluation ainsi qu'une approche complémentaire des soins (relaxation, art-thérapie...). Enfin, l'ouvrage s'achève sur une présentation des structures et réseaux existants. Ce guide complet et pédagogique s'adresse aux étudiant(e)s en IFSI et aux infirmier(e)s confronté(e)s à des patients gravement atteints ou en fin de vie, quel que soit leur mode d'exercice. Il intéressera également les aides-soignant(e)s et les autres professionnels de la santé qui prennent en charge de façon pluridisciplinaire ces patients. Cette cinquième édition intègre les dernières données réglementaires et propose une mise à jour de la partie "Éthique" avec notamment les évolutions du recueil des directives anticipées et de la désignation de la personne de confiance, l'évaluation de la loi Leonetti et les perspectives ouvertes par le rapport SICARD. Fruit d'un travail collectif, cet ouvrage a été rédigé par une trentaine d'infirmier(e)s du Collège des acteurs en soins infirmiers de la Société française d'accompagnement et de soins palliatifs (SFAP) qui représente le mouvement de soins palliatifs français.
