  • Movement, Stability & Lumbopelvic Pain

    Integration of research and therapy
    • 2nd Edition
    • Andry Vleeming + 2 more
    • English
    The human lumbopelvic area has become the focus of a considerable amount of new and intriguing research relevant to effective diagnosis and treatment of low back pain. Back function has recently been studied from a broader perspective, including the analysis of the coupled function in spine, pelvis and legs. These approaches lead to new questions about dynamic stability and motor control in general, and specifically about the spine and pelvis. These new insights obviously imply new approaches in the prevention and treatment of low back pain and pelvic pain. Unique to this book is its in-depth coverage of this subject area by a team of international contributors who represent the broad range of professionals involved in clinical research and therapy. These experts cover a vast area of lumbopelvic experience, from effective treatment and rehabilitation to epidemiology, anatomy, biomechanics, pain and motor control, surgery and manual therapy.

    • Jean Marty

    Le polytraumatisé est un blessé grave, victime de plusieurs lésions, dont une, au moins, met en jeu le pronostic vital du patient à brève échéance. Le décès survient en effet dans la moitié des cas sur le lieu même de l'accident, et dans les heures et les quelques jours qui suivent la prise en charge pour l'autre moitié. Touchant majoritairement une population jeune, ces polytraumatismes sont par ailleurs à l'origine de nombreuses séquelles fonctionnelles qui détériorent considérablement la qualité de vie des patients. Seules une prise en charge très rapide et multidisciplinaire et une bonne orientation permettront d'améliorer le pronostic. Abordant successivement les grands principes diagnostiques et thérapeutiques en fonction de la localisation des traumatismes, cet ouvrage présente les différents aspects de la prise en charge d'une victime souffrant de polytraumatisme. Son suivi au bloc opératoire, ainsi qu'en postopératoire, et les examens d'imagerie sont particulièrement détaillés, soulignant l'inderdisciplinarit... de la prise en charge de ces patients. C'est pourquoi également l'accueil des polytraumatisés nécessite de plus en plus des structures spécialisées disposant d'un plateau technique très performant et complet, intégrant les équipes médico-chirurgicales...
