    Pediatricians care for children and families from all walks of life. Some are children known from neighborhoods. Others are children from distant lands. Pediatric focus does not stop with the physical care of children but extends to include their mental and social-emotional health and concern about their families. Pediatricians care about how children are doing at home, at school, and in their communities. In this era, children and their families are impacted by social and political changes in their homes (social media and screen time), in their communities (refugee populations and children requiring palliative supports at school), in their health care networks (EMR in every tertiary pediatric center), and in the larger world (multiple military deployments of fathers and mothers). This issue explores the impact of contemporary public health challenges for pediatric care, promising models for caring for chronically ill children, and state of the art therapies for complex childhood conditions.

    Diagnostic, causes, tableau clinique, réductions

    • French
    Les techniques articulaires ostéopathiques s’imposent par leur capacité à soulager rapidement le patient, et leur pratique est en plein essor. Mais leur mise en œuvre nécessite des connaissances spécifiques. Aussi, cet atlas constitue un véritable guide méthodologique. Il propose des techniques originales et consacre une place importante à des régions peu décrites par ailleurs. Pour chaque articulation (épaule, coude, poignet et main, hanche, genou, cheville et pied), les dysfonctions font l'objet d'un diagnostic : le test de mobilité — illustré de photographies —, suivi de l'exposé des points essentiels du tableau clinique, ainsi que des causes principales de la dysharmonie articulaire. Les techniques, choisies pour leur efficacité, sont illustrées par près de 400 photographies du patient en situation, selon une séquence rigoureuse et pédagogique : – repérage précis des structures osseuses à mobiliser, – positions du praticien et du patient, – positionnement des mains, – mise en place des paramètres de réduction, – réduction. La multiplicité des angles de vue, les tests de diagnostic étoffés, ainsi que les conseils et astuces, permettent d'aboutir à un geste efficace (avec ou sans impulsion). De par son nouveau format et sa nouvelle présentation, la lecture de cette réédition de l’Atlas de techniques articulaires ostéopathiques est plus fluide. Les photos et leurs explications sont ainsi mises en valeur, permettant d’accéder à l’information recherchée plus rapidement. Les auteurs s’adressent aussi bien aux professionnels soucieux de posséder un manuel de référence pour leur pratique quotidienne, ostéopathes, kinésithérapeutes, praticiens en médecine manuelle, qu’aux étudiants de ces disciplines.
