Book SynopsisThis resource will help yoga teachers, physical therapists, and individuals with disabilities create safe and effective yoga practices that accommodate conditions such as low back pain, arthritis, spinal cord injury, stroke, cerebral palsy, limb amputation, Parkinson’s, and multiple sclerosis.Trade Review"Although the benefits of adaptive yoga for people with unique physical abilities are being increasingly recognized, there are no published guidelines for safe implementation. Dr. Yang's and Dr. Fahey's expertise in Adaptive Yoga fills a much-needed void. This will be a go-to guide—not only for people with disabilities but also for yoga instructors and for health care professionals hoping to integrate holistic interventions with their patients.”—Kelly Krese, DPT, NCS, Neurologic Physical Therapist at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab“In this important work, Dr. Yang and Dr. Fahey invite you to come back to the essence of yoga, illustrating in a clear and comprehensive way how the postures can (and should) be adapted to each person according to their specific needs. This guide is an essential contribution to the field of yoga therapy, outlining safe and effective practices to promote healing and optimal well-being.”—Rachel Krentzman PT, C-IAYT, Physical Therapist, Yoga Therapist, and Author of Yoga for a Happy Back and Scoliosis, Yoga Therapy, and the Art of Letting Go“As a physical therapist and yoga and movement educator, I get goose bumps thinking about the power of this book's message and the overall work of Dr. Ingrid Yang. Ingrid is defying convention in her field to amplify and lead with a simple, noninvasive, nonpharmaceutical approach that could enhance the quality of life for those experiencing challenging and sometimes disabling conditions. This is a well-referenced guide to understanding how and why to apply yoga asana under a wide range of circumstances.”—Ariele Foster, DPT, PT, E-RYT 500, Founder of YogaAnatomyAcademy.com“This detailed yet accessibly written book is a gift for curious students of yoga, a resource for yoga teachers, and a primer for rehabilitation professionals seeking to understand the use of yoga asana as a targeted means of increasing strength and flexibility. It is also, crucially, a welcome portal to further exploration: As Dr. Yang and Dr. Fahey remind readers, “The goal of adaptive yoga is not only to modify yoga poses but to use yoga as a tool to improve mobility, function, and quality of life.”—Laurie Hyland Robertson, Editor in Chief of Yoga Therapy Today"This book is an amazing effort and accomplishment to help fill a void our health care system is not always able to fill."—Bijal Patel, MD, Nephrologist, Patient Advocate, and Physician Advocate"Adaptive Yoga is a well-thought-out introduction to yoga posture variations to help both yoga professionals and health care providers serve wider audiences. The book is an important bridge that will allow many more individuals to safely access the important health benefits of yoga asana practice."—Matthew J.

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 SynopsisFirst place in the 2020 American Journal of Nursing Book of the Year Award in History and Public Policy​Winner of the 2020 Lavinia L. Dock Award from the American Association for the History of NursingTalking Therapy traces the rise of modern psychiatric nursing in the United States from the 1930s to the 1970s. Through an analysis of the relationship between nurses and other mental health professions, with an emphasis on nursing scholarship, this book demonstrates the inherently social construction of ‘mental health’, and highlights the role of nurses in challenging, and complying with, modern approaches to psychiatry. After WWII, heightened cultural and political emphasis on mental health for social stability enabled the development of psychiatric nursing as a distinct knowledge project through which nurses aimed to transform institutional approaches to patient care, and to contribute to health and social science beyond the bedside. Nurses now take for granted the ideas that underpin their relationships with patients, but this book demonstrates that these were ideas not easily won, and that nurses in the past fought hard to make mental health nursing what it is today. Trade Review"Talking Therapy is thoughtful, well-written, and covers much new ground. Her treatment of gender strikes me as having perfect pitch, and her analysis is well-grounded in psychiatric historiography, aware of both classics and recent work." -- Jonathan Sadowsky * author of Depression: A History *"In this engaging and essential book, Kylie Smith restores psychiatric nurses to their central place in the history of mental health, chronicling their struggles for professional legitimacy as they cared for the afflicted while entering a larger conversation focused on healing the nation’s damaged psyche." -- Elizabeth Lunbeck * author of The Americanization of Narcissism *"This incredible book is a much-needed addition to the history of nursing scholarship, but more so to the history of caring for those with mental illnesses. Smith illustrates how ideas about caregiving for this historically marginalized population informed not only psychiatric nursing but nursing more broadly. The book will help current day practitioners examine the underpinnings of their own ideas of caring for mentally ill patients." -- Julie Fairman * author of Making Room in the Clinic *"Talking Therapy is thus a valuable contribution to the history of twentieth-century American psychiatry and mental health, moving nurses from the margins to the center of that history. It highlights the complex, intersecting, and shifting relationship between nurses and psychiatrists; the intellectual and political work nurses have done to transform patient care; and the interprofessional, gender, racial, and knowledge politics that continue to shape the American health care system." * Bulletin of the History of Medicine *"Smith has the complicated task of bringing together two major areas of secondary literature—the history of nursing and the history of psychiatry....Smith raises important questions and her book is among the first to fill the enormous void in the history of nurses in psychiatry [and] it is a mark of the value of Smith's Talking Therapy that she has generated more questions than she can answer. We can look forward to works by Smith and other future scholars to further elucidate the critical role of nurses in psychiatry." * Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences *"A valuable and timely book that will be of interest to historians of psychiatry and health professionals." * Social History of Medicine *Table of ContentsContents List of Illustrations List of Abbreviations Introduction 1 “The backbone of every mental hospital”: Defining nursing in early psychiatry 2 “The Gospel of Mental Hygiene”: Reimagining practice before WWII 3 “The Future of Nursing”: Creating Advanced Practice Courses in Psychiatry 4 “We called it talking with patients”: Interpersonal Relations and the Idea of Nurses as Therapists 5 “The number one social problem”: Mental Health and American Democracy Conclusion Epilogue Acknowledgments Notes Index

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.

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.

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)“...

Book SynopsisJulia Waage entwickelt ein Interview für Kinder ab vier Jahren mit Frühförderung, das deren Teilhabesituation und -wünsche erfasst. Grundlage bildet die ICF-CY (WHO 2007, deutsche Übersetzung: DIMDI 2011), genauer die „ICF-CY-Checkliste fur das Kindes- und Jugendalter (3-6)“ der Deutschen interdisziplinären Arbeitsgruppe zur ICF-Adaptation für den Kinder- und Jugendbereich (2012). Eine Erhebung der kindlichen Teilhabe im Sinne der ICF-Philosophie verlangt nach dem direkten Einbezug des Kindes. Das Interview wird an drei fünf Jahre alten Jungen mit Frühförderung erprobt. Die Kinder beantworten die Interviewfragen jeweils mehrheitlich adäquat, was für die Fragenverständlichkeit und den Einsatz von Interviews zur Erfassung der Partizipation in diesem Bereich spricht.Table of ContentsDer Teilhabebegriff in der ICF und der ICF-CY.- Erhebung der Teilhabe bei Vorschulkindern.- Gestaltungshinweise von Interviews bei Vorschulkindern.- Interviewentwicklung.- Anwendung des Interviews und Ergebnisse.

Book SynopsisSina Juliette Weeber befasst sich mit dem Direktzugang zur Physiotherapie und dessen ausbildungsinhaltlichen und strukturell-organisatorischen Bedingungen. In Bezug auf die Zulassung eines Direktzuganges in Deutschland untersucht die Autorin in einem internationalen Vergleich die strukturellen und gesetzlichen Gegebenheiten der Länder, die diesen Weg zur Physiotherapie in ihrem Gesundheitssystem etabliert haben. Dafür untersucht sie die Curricula der internationalen und nationalen Hochschulen sowie die Inhalte des deutschen Ausbildungsgesetzes. Es werden ebenfalls hemmende und fördernde Faktoren für die Einführung eines Direktzuganges genannt sowie die Möglichkeiten einer Einführung in Deutschland bewertet.Trade Review“… Das Buch kann wissenschaftlich arbeitenden Therapeutinnen und Therapeuten als Grundlage fur eigene, weitergehende Untersuchungen sowie Lehrkräften als Hintergrundwissen zur Bearbeitung der komplexen Thematik empfohlen werden.” (Stephan Kirchner, in: Physiotherapie, Heft 3, 2017)Table of ContentsTheoretischer Hintergrund des Direktzugangs.- Physiotherapie und Kursinhalte der Bachelorstudiengänge in Deutschland.- Vergleich der internationalen Studiengänge in Australien, Neuseeland, Schweden und Finnland mit dem deutschen Ausbildungssystem.
