  • Gua sha

    A Traditional Technique for Modern Practice
    • 2nd Edition
    • Arya Nielsen
    • English
    ‘Sometimes called coining, spooning or scraping, Gua sha is defined as instrument-assisted unidirectional press stroking of a lubricated area of the body surface that intentionally creates ‘transitory therapeutic petechiae’ representing extravasation of blood in the subcutis.’ Gua sha has been used for centuries in Asia, in Asian immigrant communities and by acupuncturists and practitioners of traditional East Asian medicine worldwide. With the expansion of traditional East Asian medicine, Gua sha has been used over broad geographic areas and by millions of people. It is valuable in the treatment of pain and for functional problems with impaired movement, the prevention and treatment of acute infectious illness, upper respiratory and digestive problems, and many acute or chronic disorders. Research has demonstrated Gua sha radically increases surface microperfusion that stimulates immune and anti-inflammatory responses that persist for days after treatment. The second edition expands on the history of Gua sha and similar techniques used in early Western Medicine, detailing traditional theory, purpose and application and illuminated by science that focuses its relevance to modern clinical practice as well as scholarly inquiry. This book brings the technique alive for practitioners, with clear discussion of how to do it –including correct technique, appropriate application, individualization of treatment – and when to use it, with over 50 case examples, and superb color photographs and line drawings that demonstrate the technique.

  • The Malalignment Syndrome

    diagnosis and treatment of common pelvic and back pain
    • 2nd Edition
    • Wolf Schamberger
    • English
    Lack of appreciation and knowledge of the malalignment syndrome often leads to a failure to notice the possible aetiological or predisposing factors contributing to many musculoskeletal problems. Recognition of the syndrome by physicians, chiropractors, osteopaths, podiatrists, physiotherapists, kinesiologists, sports trainers and others dealing with patients and athletes (including equine) can help them implement appropriate treatment and training to correct the malalignment and actually prevent the initial occurrence of symptoms. Now in its second edition, The Malalignment Syndrome has established itself as a trusty one-stop reference providing a detailed description of this syndrome and how it can be identified and treated. It concentrates on the trunk, pelvis, spine, sacroiliac joint and legs, incorporating anatomy, biomechanics, stability issues, possible causes, examination and diagnostic techniques as well as a comprehensive treatment approach. Emphasis is also placed on the participation of the patient/athlete in the day-to day treatment process to achieve long-term results.

  • Les dysphasies

    • 1st Edition
    • Christelle Maillart + 3 more
    • French
    L'étude des troubles du langage oral chez l'enfant a connu un développement considérable à partir des années 1970 avec l'essor des recherches en psychologie du langage, en linguistique, et plus récemment dans le domaine des neurosciences et de la génétique. La prise en charge des troubles langagiers fait également l'objet actuellement d'une attention particulière dans la recherche scientifique. L'objectif principal de ce livre est de rendre accessibles les résultats des recherches récentes sur les troubles dits «dysphasiques » aux professionnels concernés par le suivi des enfants présentant cette pathologie. La dysphasie est définie comme un trouble développemental, qui concerne l'élaboration du langage oral, entraînant des difficultés importantes en compréhension et/ou en expression du langage parlé. C'est un trouble spécifique, sévère et persistant qui interfère d'emblée avec la dynamique développementale de l'enfant. La première partie de l'ouvrage expose les approches théoriques de la dysphasie, actuellement débattues dans la littérature scientifique, et dont la synthèse constitue une aide à l'établissement d'un diagnostic précis ou à la construction de programmes de prévention. La seconde partie présente différents types de rééducation, avec des exemples cliniques, et notamment le courant méthodologique EBP (Evidence-Based Practice), littéralement « pratiques basées sur les preuves », qui vise à aider le clinicien à vérifier la pertinence de ses choix. Illustré par des exemples concrets d'interprétation et d'évaluation des troubles, des stratégies d'élaboration du diagnostic, et comportant les recommandations issues de la littérature internationale, cet ouvrage s'adresse à tous les professionnels concernés par les troubles du langage oral et leur prise en charge : orthophonistes, neuropsychologues, médecins rééducateurs.

    This brand new resource provides a solid, comprehensive and accessible foundation in neurosciences for undergraduates and pre-registration postgraduate students. Using a multidisciplinary approach, it will guide students in their understanding of the most commonly found problems in neurological rehabilitation and inform their clinical practice. The book starts with the foundation of basic neurosciences, covering the normal function and structure of the nervous system from the organism as a whole through to the molecular level. It also introduces perceptuo-motor control and learning - topics that lie at the heart of rehabilitation. The book then goes on to discuss problems that allied health professionals commonly encounter in neurological rehabilitation. Topics covered include problems with perception and movement, planning, attention and memory, communication, motivation and emotion, sleep, continence and sexuality. The book also introduces key theories and evidence underpinning both behavioural and pharmacotherapeutic interventions used in neurological rehabilitation. The book closes by summarising current principles underpinning best practice and also looks to the future by identifying gaps in evidence-based practice with ideas for future research and what the future may hold for neurological rehabilitation. Throughout, a variety of supplementary information boxes point towards additional material such as Case Studies which highlight the clinical relevance of topics discussed; and a variety of Research Boxes which refer to more advanced material and/or original research studies. Each chapter ends with self-assessment questions which will check progress and prompt students to reflect on how the information presented in the chapter could be applied to clinical practice.
