  • Interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit bei der Behandlung von Säuglingen mit Regulationsstörungen im osteopathischen Kontext

    • 1st Edition
    • Birgit Gillemot
    • German
    Regulationsstörungen bei Säuglingen interdisziplinär behandeln Schlafstörungen und exzessives Schreien treten bei Säuglingen immer häufiger auf. Eltern sind oft überfordert. Eine interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit von Ärzten in Ambulanzen, niedergelassenen Pädiatern und Osteopathen ist hier besonders wichtig. Die möglichen Spätfolgen von Regulationsstörungen sind bekannt: psychosoziale Probleme, Schulprobleme; ggf. ADHS berühren die Bereiche der Kinder-und Jugendpsychologie. Die Ausbildung der Osteopathen greift das Thema der interdisziplinären Zusammenarbeit bisher nicht auf. Die Arbeit bietet eine umfassende Darlegung der theoretischen Grundlagen sowie ein detailliertes Behandlungsschema, mit Bildern und Handouts für die Praxis; welches bisher noch keine vergleichbare Veröffentlichung gefunden hat. Zudem wurde ein Katalog für Anforderungen an die Ausbildung der Osteopathen in diesem neuen und wichtigen Bereich entwickelt.

  • Functional Atlas of the Human Fascial System

    • 1st Edition
    • Carla Stecco
    • English
    Principally based on dissections of hundreds of un-embalmed human cadavers over the past decade, Functional Atlas of the Human Fascial System presents a new vision of the human fascial system using anatomical and histological photographs along with microscopic analysis and biomechanical evaluation. Prof. Carla Stecco – orthopaedic surgeon and professor of anatomy and sport activities – brings together the research of a multi-specialist team of researchers and clinicians consisting of anatomists, biomechanical engineers, physiotherapists, osteopaths and plastic surgeons. In this Atlas Prof. Stecco presents for the first time a global view of fasciae and the actual connections that describe the myofascial kinetic chains. These descriptions help to explain how fascia plays a part in myofascial dysfunction and disease as well as how it may alter muscle function and disturb proprioceptive input. Prof. Stecco also highlights the continuity of the fascial planes, explaining the function of the fasciae and their connection between muscles, nerves and blood vessels. This understanding will help guide the practitioner in selecting the proper technique for a specific fascial problem with a view to enhancing manual therapy methods. Functional Atlas of the Human Fascial System opens with the first chapter classifying connective tissue and explaining its composition in terms of percentages of fibres, cells and extracellular matrix. The second chapter goes on to describe the general characteristics of the superficial fascia from a macroscopic and microscopic point of view; while the third analyzes the deep fascia in the same manner. The subsequent five chapters describe the fasciae from a topographical perspective. In this part of the Atlas, common anatomical terminology is used throughout to refer to the various fasciae but it also stresses the continuity of fasciae between the different bodily regions.

    The management of infertility using acupuncture is an expanding area of practice and one which is frequently rewarding for TCM acupuncture practitioners. Acupuncture for IVF and Assisted Reproduction has been specially prepared to meet the growing demand for information in this area and draws upon 20 years combined experience of the authors together with the latest evidence from both orthodox medicine and TCM. Richly illustrated and clearly written throughout, the book takes the reader through the anatomy and physiology of reproductive medicine (from both an orthodox and TCM perspective) and explains the underlying basis of orthodox medical fertility tests and investigations. The volume then explores the pathology and aetiology of TCM syndromes and shows how common fertility-related conditions, such as endometriosis and male factor infertility, affect Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) success rates. It explains in great detail how to take a reproductive medical history and successfully diagnose TCM syndromes. Acupuncture for IVF and Assisted Reproduction also provides guidelines on how to regulate the menstrual cycle in preparation for IVF treatment and shows how lifestyle can affect fertility and ART success rates. Placing a strong emphasis on the practical aspects of patient care, Acupuncture for IVF and Assisted Reproduction contains an abundance of case history templates, algorithmic acupuncture treatment pathways and patient fact sheets and will be ideal for all acupuncture practitioners working in this field.

    Le langage dans tous les sens
    • 2nd Edition
    • Françoise Estienne
    • French
    Parler, lire, écrire vont de pair et se développent en spirale. Un minimum de langage oral facilite l'entrée dans l'écrit qui à son tour enrichit le langage oral. D'où l'importance de stimuler le langage dans tous les sens. Dans toutes ses dimensions et modalités, il est parlé, lu, chanté, rythmé ; du son à la lettre, de la lettre à la syllabe, au mot, à la phrase, au texte… Tous les sens sont mobilisés, l'oreille qui entend, distingue, perçoit, analyse, la bouche qui articule, la main qui trace, les yeux qui voient…les mots, les phrases se respirent, se dégustent… L'entraînement pour développer le langage se base sur les principes suivants : - allier constamment l'écriture à la lecture ; - viser l'efficacité, en répétant l'exercice jusqu'à réussite complète ; - privilégier la rapidité d'exécution ; - faire appel à la créativité du sujet ; - travailler simultanément l'écoute, les perceptions auditive et visuelle, la mémoire du travail, la lecture et l'orthographe. Cette nouvelle édition s'est enrichie d'une trentaine d'exercices, d'une mise à jour des contenus théoriques et de la bibliographie. Il s'adresse en premier lieu aux orthophonistes mais, bien au-delà, il se conçoit comme une boîte à outils pour tous les enseignants, les pédagogues à qui incombent la mission de stimuler et enrichir le langage de leurs élèves.

    • Wendy Bryant + 2 more
    • English
    Now in its fifth edition, this seminal textbook for occupational therapy students and practitioners has retained the comprehensive detail of previous editions with significant updates, including the recovery approach informed by a social perspective. Emerging settings for practice are explored and many more service users have been involved as authors, writing commentaries on 14 chapters.All chapters are revised and there are also new chapters, such as mental health and wellbeing, professional accountability, intersectionality, green care and working with marginalized populations. Chapter 11 is written by two people who have received occupational therapy, examining different perspectives on the experience of using services.This edition is divided into clear sections, exploring theory and practice issues in detail. The first section covers the historical, theoretical and philosophical basis for occupational therapy in the promotion of mental health and wellbeing. The second section examines the occupational therapy process, followed by a third section on ensuring quality in contemporary practice. The fourth section offers insights into issues arising from the changing contexts for occupational therapy including an analysis of the implications for occupational therapy education. The fifth section has eight chapters on specific occupations that can be applied across the varied settings which are covered in the sixth and final section.Occupational Therapy and Mental Health is essential reading for students and practitioners across all areas of health and/or social care, in statutory, private or third (voluntary) sectors, and in institutional and community-based settings."The book manages to pack a great deal into the 500 or so pages and is highly recommended for those new to occupational therapy and mental health as it provides a valuable and broad overview of the subject." --Dr Jean McQueen, The Forensic Network, NHS Scotland Date: Jan 2015
