French

Face au vieillissement de la population, la rééducation gériatrique s’impose, au sein des sciences de la rééducation et de la réadaptation, comme un axe essentiel qui nécessite un changement de regard.La rédaction de cet ouvrage a nécessité une approche interdisciplinaire et interprofessionnelle : au travers des différents chapitres, des passerelles se créent entre données scientifiques récentes et pratiques de rééducation.Ainsi, les sciences humaines éclairent-elles les chapitres consacrés à la formation des étudiants, aux aspects relationnels à travers des histoires de vie, à l’éthique et au regard sociétal... Par ricochet, les sciences du mouvement apportent des clés nouvelles de compréhension à l’évaluation et aux techniques utilisées dans une rééducation le plus souvent cognitivomotrice, qui prend en compte les spécificités du vieillissement normal et de la fragilité. Une ouverture particulière est réalisée aussi vers l’usage des nouvelles technologies.Cet ouvrage permet d’approcher ainsi la complexité d’une rééducation répondant de manière personnalisée aux besoins des personnes âgées.Il est destiné en priorité aux rééducateurs : kinésithérapeutes, ergothérapeutes, orthophonistes, psychomotriciens, enseignants et étudiants en activité physique adaptée.Cet ouvrage a été coordonné par France Mourey, kinésithérapeute spécialisée en rééducation gériatrique, professeure des universités émérite à l’université de Bourgogne Europe, chercheuse dans le domaine des effets du vieillissement sur les fonctions motrices au laboratoire Inserm U1093 à Dijon.
