  • Respiratory Muscle Training

    Theory and Practice
    • 1st Edition
    • Alison McConnell
    • English
    Respiratory Muscle Training: theory and practice is the world’s first book which provides an "everything-you-need... guide to respiratory muscle training (RMT). Authored by an internationally-accl... leading expert, it is an evidence-based resource, built upon current scientific knowledge, as well as clinical experience at the cutting-edge of respiratory training in a wide range of settings. The aim of the book is to give readers: 1) an introduction to respiratory physiology and exercise physiology, as well as training theory; 2) an understanding of how disease affects the respiratory muscles and the mechanics of breathing; 3) an insight into the disease-specific, evidence-based benefits of RMT; 4) advice on the application of RMT as a standalone treatment, and as part of a rehabilitation programme; and finally, 5) guidance on the application of functional training techniques to RMT. The book is divided into two parts – theory and practice. Part I provides readers with access to the theoretical building blocks that support practice. It explores the evidence base for RMT as well as the different methods of training respiratory muscles and their respective efficacy. Part II guides the reader through the practical implementation of the most widely validated form of RMT, namely inspiratory muscle resistance training. Finally, over 100 "Functional" IMT exercises are described, which incorporate a stability and/or postural challenge, including exercises that address specific "dyspnoeagenic" movements. Respiratory Muscle Training: theory and practice is supported by a dedicated website (www.physiobreathe.c... which provides access to the latest information on RMT, as well as video clips of all exercises described in the book. Purchasers will also receive a three-month free trial of the Physiotec software platform, which allows clinicians to create bespoke training programmes (including video clips) that can be printed or emailed to patients. "[More importantly] it provides an evidence base for the incorporation of respiratory muscle training for a variety of conditions."

    • French
    Le lupus érythémateux est une maladie chronique, qui résulte d'un dérèglement multifactoriel du système immunitaire et qui illustre parfaitement le concept de maladie auto-immune systémique. Affection aux symptômes multiples, elle se déclare le plus souvent par des manifestations cutanées ou articulaires, mais elle peut toucher n'importe quel organe. De par la complexité de son diagnostic et de son traitement, le lupus érythémateux est une maladie parfois grave dont le diagnostic et la prise en charge font appel à un grand nombre de spécialités médicales : dermatologie, rhumatologie, médecine interne, néphrologie, hématologie, pédiatrie, biologie médicale, mais aussi parfois pneumologie, cardiologie, gastro-entérologie..... Ce livre didactique, organisé sous la forme de mises au point et d'interrogations que le professionnel de santé est amené à se poser, propose : - un ancrage diagnostique et thérapeutique par des mises au point, dans la première partie, offrant un rappel de la physiopathologie du lupus érythémateux, de ses manifestations cliniques et biologiques et de son traitement ; - un approfondissement des différentes manifestations, des situations particulières et des complications que peut présenter le patient lupique : lupus chez l'enfant, grossesse et lupus, risque infectieux, ostéonécrose, ischémie cutanée, douleurs abdominales, etc. ; - une évaluation des multiples traitements, chaque symptôme nécessitant une cure spécifique. Les syndromes plus rares associés au lupus, comme le syndrome d'Evans ou encore le syndrome d'activation macrophagique par exemple, sont ainsi abordés spécifiquement, afin de déterminer le remède le plus adapté. Cet ouvrage exhaustif, illustré par de nombreux tableaux et figures, éclaire une maladie complexe et polymorphe. Il guidera les nombreux praticiens pour lesquels le lupus érythémateux est un enjeu majeur de diagnostic, véritable cas d'école de diagnostic différentiel. Il apportera une aide considérable dans la prise en charge thérapeutique en abordant concrètement les nombreuses situations cliniques auxquelles les malades lupiques sont exposés.
