Book Synopsis The premier text for athletic taping and bracing is back in a stunning fourth edition. Newly expanded to cover casting techniques, Athletic Taping, Bracing, and Casting, Fourth Edition With HKPropel Access, continues to set itself apart from the pack with superior photos and illustrations, precise step-by-step instructions, and pinpoint focus on the techniques that athletic trainers and therapists are most likely to apply in clinical practice. Author Ian McLeod joins veteran author David Perrin in this fourth edition to lend further expertise in the application guidelines and precautions for casting and splinting. Additional enhancements include the following: • New related online learning tools delivered via HKPropelfeaturefeaturing 56 competency testing checklists that detail the steps required to show competency • Related online video with demonstrations of proper technique, including six clips dedicated to casting • Twenty new casting and splinting techniques for Achilles tendon ruptures and common fractures of the foot, ankle, elbow, wrist, and hand • Information about the importance of evidence-based practice for the techniques, presented by special contributor Carrie Docherty Athletic Taping, Bracing, and Casting, Fourth Edition, features more than 650 full-color illustrations and photos demonstrating the most frequently applied procedures in clinical practice, some of which are broken down into as many as 16 steps. The book follows a systematic approach for each major joint and body region, covering traditional taping as well as rigid strap taping, elastic kinesiology taping, and techniques for immobilization with casting and splinting. The photos that depict taping sequences feature tape with darkened edges that enable readers to distinguish the layers and patterns of the tape applied in each step, providing invaluable visual aids for both students and professionals. In addition, icons in the text will indicate when a technique is also demonstrated in the companion online video. With its concise anatomical descriptions and detailed anatomical illustrations similar to those normally found in advanced texts on anatomy, Athletic Taping, Bracing, and Casting clearly highlights the mechanisms of injury that are crucial for understanding effective taping, bracing, and casting. To further support the practice, the book also presents basic stretching and strengthening exercises for injury rehabilitation. These exercises are illustrated for each body part and can be used in conjunction with the taping, bracing, and casting techniques to prevent injury and help rehabilitated patients maintain strength and flexibility and safely return to play. The clear instructional guidance and robust visual support offered in Athletic Taping, Bracing, and Casting, Fourth Edition, will allow both future and current athletic trainers to build proficiency—and then mastery—of the performance of these techniques.Note: A code for accessing HKPropel is included with all new print books.

Book SynopsisImbalances in the human body are easily recognized in yoga. With an innovative blend of yoga and anatomy, Vayu Jung Doohwa shows how a few simple adjustments based on your postural type is all you need to correct these imbalances and take your practice to new heights! Do you struggle with certain yoga poses? Are you restricted in backward bends? Do you feel that one hip is more externally rotated than the other? Identifying Postural Imbalances Through Yoga will help you identify exactly where (and why) you hold particular patterns and, more importantly, demonstrate how to overcome them. We all house a collection of compensations in our bodies—usually the result of daily routine, injury, or emotional trauma—and these compensations impact how we move. Author Vayu Jung Doohwa has developed his own unique methodology by which he “diagnoses” yoga practitioners into four postural groups—A, P, C, and N—and then “prescribes” adjustments to release and overcome the musculoskeletal imbalances relating to each one. These corrective methods use simple prompts in each pose to help restore the pelvis to neutral and improve spinal balance, limb alignment, and breath control. Part I illustrates methods for identifying imbalances by observing how the lines and sections of the body act in a number of diagnostic yoga poses. Part II examines the four postural (body) types in greater detail by describing pelvic tilt, spinal curvature, breathing, and energy patterns. Part III presents the most effective strategies for restoring joint movement, counteracting imbalances of the core, and optimizing breathing for each body type. Also included is a quick-reference visual comparison of the four body types in 15 different yoga poses. Brought to life using over 250 engaging color diagrams and photographs, this innovative, scientific interpretation of Ashtanga yoga is a vital resource for yoga practitioners of all levels!Table of ContentsPart I.

Book SynopsisStroke patients continue to present a major challenge to the rehabilitation professions. In particular, the "rehabilitated" patient with a useless hand remains an all too common phenomenon. This book focuses on the sensory perceptual disturbances caused by stroke which, even if slight can be the crucial factor in poor hand function. A wide-ranging review is presented of the processes of functional reorganisation by which the brain responds to the demands posed by injury as well as by learning. An inescapable conclusion from this literature is that any therapy which aims to harness these processes for the restoration of function after stroke needs to engage the patient's attention and motivation. This is followed by a detailed description of the method of Sensory Re-education developed by the author through long experience with patients and culminating in a clinical trial which establised its effectiveness. While the book is intended primarily for physiotherapists and occupational therapists, it contains much to interest all who are concerned with brain function in health and disease, including neurologists and neuropsychologists, as well as stroke patients and their families. Contents Introduction The Challenge: Stroke and its Aftermath The Effectiveness of Therapy The Quest for a Different Approach Sensory Loss in Stroke: Sensory Testing and the Frequency and Types of Deficit The Functional Implications of Sensory Loss The Theoretical Basis of Sensory Re-education: Sources Peripheral Nerve Lesions; Central Lesions Guide-lines for Intervention Contributions from Psychology: Attention; Motivation The Essentials of Sensory Re-education: The Focus on the Hand The Therapeutic Relationship The Protocol for a Sensory Task Summary The Curriculum I: How to Use the Curriculum Lessons in Touch The Curriculum II: Lessons in Proprioception Lessons in the Recognition of Objects and Their Qualities Suggestions for Homework Validation of the Method: Theoretical Considerations A Controlled Trial The Next Step Wider Applications: Sensory Problems in Standing and Walking After Stroke Cerebral Palsy Other Conditions Wider Applications Conclusion

Book SynopsisThis text reaches beyond the boundaries of mainstream physiotherapy into a novel area for physiotherapists and nurses. It provides information on the prevalence and risk factors for erectile dysfunction, the anatomy and physiology of normal erectile function and the role played by the pelvic floor muscles in men. A successful randomised controlled trial exploring pelvic floor muscle exercises and manometric biofeedback for both erectile dysfunction and post-micturition dribble is clearly reported. This is the first time that erectile dysfunction has been associated with post-micturition dribble due to poor pelvic floor musculature. The discussion covering each aspect of the trial adds knowledge to a poorly researched subject. This book provides professionals with first-line treatment guidance based on evidence for the well-being of men with erectile dysfunction and their partners. It should be of interest to all professionals working in the area of urology.Table of ContentsAnatomy and Physiology. Pelvic Floor Exercises. Methodology of The trial.

Book SynopsisThe book examines recent developments in regenerative medicine and the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound. Musculoskeletal regeneration has become a prominent research topic, no doubt due to the sociological and economic pressures imposed by the current ageing population. The ever expanding role of regenerative medicine and the identification as well as characterization of stem cells have introduced a major paradigm shift in the field of musculoskeletal and sports medicine as well as orthopaedic surgery. Whereas in the past, diseased tissue was replaced with allograft material, current trends in research revolve around regenerating damaged tissue.Specifically, regenerative medicine stands in contrast to the standard treatment modalities which impair the body’s natural abilities to facilitate endogenous repair mechanisms such as anti-inflammatory drugs; or destructive modalities (e.g., radiotherapy, nerve ablation, injections of botulinum toxin) and surgical interventions that permanently alter the functioning of a joint, bone or spine. When compared to other allopathic options (including knee and hip arthroplasty with a 90-day mortality rate of 0.7%), regenerative medicine treatment modalities have a lower incidence of adverse events with a growing body of statistically significant medical literature illustrating both their safety and efficacy. Focusing on the major values of regenerative medicine, this book with its 21 chapters is expected to fill an important void in the current literature. It will take that extra step to guide you in your day to day clinical practice. Featuring contributions from a large international group of leaders in regenerative medicine and musculoskeletal ultrasonography, this book is an authoritative reference for rheumatologists, physiatrists, sonographers, radiologists, physiotherapists and orthopaedic specialists.Table of ContentsPart I.

Book SynopsisThis book aims at disseminating information and knowledge in Gerontechnology, a topic that is still considered a specific area of interest for techno-experts (i.e. informatics, engineers, bio-engineers, bio-statistics, etc.) while there is a relatively low diffusion of technological expertise among clinicians and other health professionals who are involved in the care of older people. In many parts of the world, average life expectancy is rising consistently, and at the same time technology is developing at a dramatic pace. This means having completely new options for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of diseases and disabilities of older people but also a new challenge to improve the quality of life by promoting an active and healthy aging at population level. This book explores the technical developments that are beginning to change the management of diseases and disabilities of geriatric patients. These include advanced Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), i.e. the new online services in healthcare and electronic medical-health records, Assistive Technologies (AT), i.e. behavior and motility monitoring sensorial tools, smart homes tools and telemedicine tools as well as Human–Computer Interaction technologies (HCI), i.e. robots for supporting people with mobility or cognitive limitations, humanoid robots, exoskeletons and rehabilitation robots. The Work is divided into three main parts: 1) Technology in a world of aging people, 2) Clinical applications of technologies in older people, and 3) Older people and technologies interaction including privacy issues, acceptability of technologies by older people and education and training of healthcare professionals in gerontechnology. The book will be an invaluable tool for geriatricians and other health professionals who are involved in the care of older people.Table of Contents

Book SynopsisOb das Gehalt, die freien Tage, das Einspringen für erkrankte Kollegen, die Übernahme eines Wochenenddienstes, die Teilnahme an Fort- und Weiterbildungen oder das Gesundheitsfördernde Verhalten eines Patienten – in Gesundheitsberufen gibt es viele Themen, die geschickt verhandelt werden müssen. Und nicht immer enden die Verhandlungen mit einer win-win-Situation für beide Verhandlungspartner. Gerade Mitarbeitern im Gesundheitswesen fällt es oft schwer, ihre Positionen gut zu verhandeln, besonders wenn an ihr soziales Gewissen appelliert wird. Wie erfolgreich verhandelt werden kann, welche Strategien beachtet werden sollten und welchen Nutzen eine gute Verhandlungsführung auch für die kommunikativen Kompetenzen haben kann, zeigt die Autorin, Renate Tewes, anhand von zahlreichen Beispielen, Modellen und Techniken aus ihrer Erfahrung als Coach für Führungskräfte.Table of ContentsVerhandlungsthemen: Termine, die Durchführung von z.B. Pflegemaßnahmen, gesundheitsförderndes Verhalten, das Gehalt Wie kann ein Verhandlungsgespräch vorbereitet werden? Welche Strategien gibt es? Was tun bei unfairen Verhandlungspartner?

Denn in Gesundheitsberufen können selbst kleinste Fehler unübersehbare Folgen für Patienten haben. Die Autorin informiert über ein angemessenes Fehlermanagement, damit vermeidbare Fehler sich nicht wiederholen: Wo sind Fehlerquellen erkennbar? Wie kann Fehlern vorgebeugt werden?

Book SynopsisDas erste Praxisbuch der neurologisch-neurochirurgischen Frührehabilitation wendet sich an alle Mitglieder des therapeutischen Teams: Ärzte, Therapeuten und Pflegende. Neben der Vermittlung von sozialmedizinischem und neurorehabilitativem Grundlagenwissen bietet es als Nachschlagewerk konkretes Praxiswissen für die häufigsten medizinischen Probleme auf einer Frührehabilitationsstation Die Morbidität der Frührehabilitanden und der Verlegungsdruck aus den Akuthäusern nehmen stetig zu, so dass ein Rehabilitationsmediziner heute in erster Linie ein akutmedizinisch versierter „Allrounder“ sein muss. Dabei beschränken sich die Anforderungen keineswegs nur auf das neurologische und neurochirurgische Fachgebiet, auch internistische, intensivmedizinische, chirurgische, ophthalmologische, HNO-ärztliche und viele andere Bereiche sind zu berücksichtigen. In diesem „Dschungel“ der Anforderungen eine Orientierungshilfe zu geben, ist das Ziel dieses Buchs.Die einzelnen Kapitel (z.B. orthopädisch-chirurgische Probleme) sind von Fachautoren so abgefasst, dass die Inhalte für fachfremde Kollegen im therapeutischen Team gut zu verstehen sind. Dies wird durch Konzentration auf praxisrelevante Inhalte, verständliche Beschreibung der Untersuchungs- und Behandlungsstrategien, Visualisierung der Inhalte in Übersichten und Abbildungen usw. erreicht. Wichtige praktische Vorgehensweisen werden „schrittweise“ in Fotoserien verdeutlicht, z.B. das oft komplizierte Atemwegsmanagement in der Frührehabilitation. Trade ReviewAus den Rezensionen:“... Das Praxisbuch unterstützt Sie umfassend mit Handlungsanleitungen und Managementstrategien für alle Situationen und Probleme, mit denen Sie als Arzt, Therapeut oder PfIegende auf der Frühreha-Station konfrontiert sind. ... Jeder Arbeitsbereich wird für "fachfremde" Kollegen im therapeutischen Team kompakt und gut nachvollziehbar beschrieben. ... mit verständlicher Beschreibung der Untersuchungs- und Behandlungsstrategien* mit Übersichten und Abbildungen, die wesentliche Aspekte klar visualisieren ... unentbehrlich für Ihre anspruchsvolle Tätigkeit in der neurologisch-neurochirurgischen Frührehabilitation!“ (in: Deutsche Behinderten Zeitschrift, Jg. 51, Heft 5, 2014)“... Das Buch hat einen klaren klinischen Fokus. Viele Tabellen, geeignete Abbildungen ... und eine gute Gliederung erleichtern die Informationsaufnahme. Ärzten, aber auch Angehörigen anderer Berufsgruppen, die sich für praxisnahe Aspekte der neurologischneurochirurgischen Frührehabilitation interessieren, kann das Buch, welches insgesamt sehr sorgfältig erstellt wurde,sehr empfohlen werden.“ (S. J. Albert und J. Kesselring, in: Schweizer Archiv für Neurologie und Psychatrie / Swiss Archive of Neurology and Psychiatry, 2013, Vol. 164, Issue 7, S. 256)“... Der Aufbau des Buches sowie das Layout sind sehr leserfreundlich gestaltet ... dieses Buch allen in der Neurologie tätigen Ärztinnen, Therapeutinnen und Pflegenden empfehlen ...” (Günther Fiala, in: Forum Logopädie, September/2013, Vol. 27, Issue 5)"... Insgesamt ist das Buch wegweisend und empfehlenswert für Einsteiger in dieses immer wichtiger werdende Gebiet der Neurologie, aber auch für im akuten Bereich tätige Neurologen, Neurochirurgen und intemistische oder anästhesistische Intensivmediziner ..." (Stefan Knecht, in: Deutsches Ärzteblatt, 31/Mai/2013, Issue 22)"... als Lehrbuch sehr angenehm zu lesen und bietet eine große Anzahl von Abbildungen, Fotos und Merkkästchen ...
