      This book is the product of an important collaboration between clinicians of the manual therapies and scientists in several disciplines that grew out of the three recent International Fascia Research Congresses (Boston, Amsterdam, and Vancouver). The book editors, Thomas Findley MD PhD, Robert Schleip PhD, Peter Huijing PhD and Leon Chaitow DO, were major organizers of these congresses and used their extensive experience to select chapters and contributors for this book. This volume therefore brings together contributors from diverse backgrounds who share the desire to bridge the gap between theory and practice in our current knowledge of the fascia and goes beyond the 2007, 2009 and 2012 congresses to define the state-of-the-art, from both the clinical and scientific perspective. Prepared by over 100 specialists and researchers from throughout the world, Fascia: The Tensional Network of the Human Body will be ideal for all professionals who have an interest in fascia and human movement - physiotherapists, osteopathic physicians, osteopaths, chiropractors, structural integration practitioners, manual therapists, massage therapists, acupuncturists, yoga or Pilates instructors, exercise scientists and personal trainers - as well as physicians involved with musculoskeletal medicine, pain management and rehabilitation, and basic scientists working in the field.

      A comprehensive textbook of radiotherapy and related radiation physics and oncology for use by all those concerned with the uses of radiation and cytotoxic drugs in the treatment of patients with malignant disease. Walter & Miller's Textbook of Radiotherapy has become the core text for therapeutic radiography students and an important introductory text for trainee radiologists and clinical physicists. The book is divided into two parts: the first covers underlying principles of physics, and the second is a systematic review by tumour site concentrating on the role of radiotherapy in the treatment of malignant disease and setting its use in context with chemotherapy and surgery. The 7th edition continues the tradition of bringing the physics and clinical application of radiation for therapy together at entry level and is completely revised to take into account the huge technological advances in radiotherapy treatment since publication of the previous edition.

      Cet ouvrage est un manuel de diagnostic kinésithérapique et orthopédique fondé sur le niveau de preuve, avec une démarche statistique. Cette approche permet de confronter et d’éprouver la fiabilité des différentes méthodes de mesure, incluant des tests d'évaluation fonctionnelle ou structurelle de l'appareil locomoteur. Le premier chapitre expose la méthode et les principes de sélection des différents tests d'évaluation fonctionnelle ou structurelle de l'appareil locomoteur. Il donne également l'essentiel de la méthode statistique utilisée. Les chapitres suivants traitent toutes les régions de l'appareil locomoteur, de l'articulation temporomandibulaire aux extrémités des membres. Chaque chapitre suit un plan systématique, clair et rigoureux : - un tableau synoptique d'introduction proposant un résumé clinique et des recommandations générales pour l'examen ; - un passage en revue des structures anatomiques, illustrées par des planches Netter ; - sous forme de tableaux, des informations sur la fiabilité de l'interrogatoire et de l'examen clinique ; - une évaluation statistique de la précision diagnostique de chaque test : sensibilité, spécificité¦ et ratio de vraisemblance. L'ouvrage offre 280 tableaux de tests accompagnés de 170 planches et 175 photographies d'examen clinique.
