Book SynopsisThis is a unique, revolutionary and totally natural self-care programme developed to treat muscle based health problems and reduce the signs of ageing. The fully-illustrated handbook guides you through stretching and massage techniques to relax the facial, neck and shoulder muscles, with particular emphasis on the jaw, where tension is often held. The exercises address health issues such as teeth clenching and grinding, pain in the face, jaw, head or neck, and can even improve the effects of Bell's Palsy. They also achieve positive cosmetic results such as reduced facial lines and healthy glowing skin. The strengthening exercises will help to lift the facial features and prevent facial sagging. The impact of each exercise is clearly explained so you can concentrate on techniques to target your individual situation, needs and goals.This supportive guide will help anyone who wants to improve the wellbeing and appearance of the face and neck, and will also be of particular interest to those working in the fields of health and beauty.Trade ReviewIn "Vital Face: Facial Exercises and Massage for Health and Beauty," Finnish physiotherapist Leena Kiviluoma presents her MimiLift Facial MuscleCare system. This program of self-massages and relaxation exercises targets two main groups of facial muscles--the chewing muscles and the mimic ones that form facial expressions--along with other muscles (including the tongue) in the head and neck. It is designed to help reduce facial pain, neck and shoulder pain, and headaches realted to muscle tightness, in addition to improving one's appearance and reducing stress. "Vital Face" provides an excellent introduction to facial anatomy before presenting the MimiLift system in a series of easy-to-follow, cleanly illustrated steps. -- Energy TimesThe book is easy to follow and well illustrated making it easy to understand. The book explains the science behind the technique and as well as the promise of a youthful face it also explains things like the link between tight jaw muscles and headaches, and covers neck pain, posture and treatments for teeth clenching and grinding. It is a fascinating book and covers everything from the anatomy of the face and theories of anti-ageing, to how to take care of the muscles of the face and neck, correct posture and supportive self-treatments. -- Wellbeing Magazine, UKLeena Kiviluoma has done trailblazing work in developing her ingenious, easy-to-use facial muscle care technique. I use her book when I teach anatomy, physiology and skin care to trainee beauty care professionals. With the help of this book clients of beauty therapists can also practice effective self-applied beauty routines at home which will help to maintain a youthful appearance. -- Anna-Liisa Halsas-Lehto, Master of Health Science, Vocational Teacher, Beauty TherapistThe developer of facial muscle care and facial muscle therapy, physiotherapist Leena Kiviluoma has written a comprehensive book about facial muscle care, which has many benefits for muscles and the connective tissues, the nervous system, the circulatory system, the skin and the bones. The medically-based instructions are safe and everyone can choose the right exercise and procedures suitable for their individual needs. Regular practice of facial muscle exercises improves both health and outlook. -- Good Health Magazine, Finnish editionI tried this programme developed by Leena Kiviluoma. Both the relaxedness and the capacity of my jaw increased noticeably. -- Fitness and Health Magazine, Finnish editionI use Leena Kiviluoma's book when I teach students on oral health care degree programmes about masticatory systems and how patients can treat certain dysfunctions themselves. This is an excellent book for health care professionals. -- Tarja Ruokokoski, Dentist, Senior lecturer, Savonia University of Applied SciencesTable of Contents1.Introduction to MimiLift Facial MuscleCare. 2.

Book SynopsisThe complex effects of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (Type 3, Hypermobility), or EDSIII, on a patient's physical and mental wellbeing are extremely challenging for everyone involved, requiring a multidisciplinary care team and enormous dedication from the patient. This book presents an overview of what it means to be a chronic complex patient, examining the wide range of physiological and psychological implications associated with EDSIII and other conditions such as endometriosis and fibromyalgia. It explores the exercise and rehabilitation work involved in managing the condition effectively, considering a diverse range of medical treatments and complementary approaches including physiotherapy, Bowen Technique and Feldenkrais Method(R). There are contributions and insights throughout from experts in the fields of physiotherapy, rheumatology and health psychology, all of whom have extensive experience of working with complex chronic patients. The author links her own symptoms and experiences to those of other EDSIII patients and discusses how she has been able to reach a point where she can successfully manage the condition.This book will be essential reading for professionals working with EDSIII and other complex conditions including medical professionals, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, counsellors and complementary therapists, and will be of interest to patients with EDSIII wanting to learn more about effective management of the condition.Trade ReviewIsobel has once again written an incredibly readable account of her never ending journey dealing with (HMS) and the effect it has on her body and those of fellow sufferers. -- Pilates with Julia blog and Pilates Tree Magazine, Julia CrossmanThis second book by Isobel Knight on Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (Type III) is targeted at medical professionals and offers a unique combination of the latest research on the subject plus her own experiences as a sufferer of one the hypermobility syndromes (Type III). Despite the target audience being medical professionals the book will no doubt be read by the vast numbers of people suffering from a hypermobility syndrome who hunger for information. One of the downfalls of having a multi-systemic condition is that often professionals from differing disciplines do not communicate with each other - this book pulls together all of the information available which makes it a must read for all who work with people with Ehlers-Danlos Type III. -- Donna Wicks, Senior Medical Liaison Officer, The Hypermobility Syndrome AssociationThis unique book is recommended for health professionals wishing to gain a lived experience perspective of JHS/EDS III. The author has invested considerable time and energy researching, reflecting and understanding the complexities of this condition. The result is a culmination of an autoethnography with clinical explanations. -- Carol J. Clark, MCSP, MSc, PhD, Lecturer in Physiotherapy, Bournemouth UniversityA fantastic read for anyone living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, especially the Hypermobility type. Isobel's personal account of day-to-day life with the condition provides detailed descriptions and insights on how to cope, backed up by good medical information, I highly recommend. -- Lara Bloom, Development Manager, EDS UKTable of ContentsAcknowledgements.

Book SynopsisThe book takes an integrated approach to pain rehabilitation and combines pain science, rehabilitation and yoga with evidence-based approaches from respected contributors. They demonstrate how to integrate the concepts, philosophies and practices of yoga and pain science in working with people in pain. An essential and often overlooked part of pain rehabilitation is listening to, working with, learning from, and validating the person in pain's lived experience. The book expounds on the movement to a more patient-valued, partnership-based biopsychosocial-spiritual model of healthcare where the patient is an active and empowered participant, as opposed to a model where the healthcare provider is 'fixing' the passive patient. It also explains how practitioners can address the entire human being in pain, and how to include the person as an expert for more effective and self-empowered care.Trade ReviewThis book is a long overdue integration of yoga into multidisciplinary health care. Here, modern pain sciences are blended with ancient wisdom and I was left with the overall view that peace should be used as a health outcome. -- David Butler PT, EdD. Associate Professor, University of South Australia and Director, Neuro Orthopaedic InstituteWhat an incredible body of work. Finally, a book that thoughtfully brings together the science of pain, the wisdom of yoga, and the heart of understanding to look at the complexity of pain and pain care. A must read for health professionals and yoga therapists who want real answers to help improve the lives of those living in pain. -- Michele Lawrence, Director, Inner Peace Yoga TherapyIt is a daunting task to bridge the gap between the timeless experiential teachings and practices of yoga and the experimental, evidence based approach of modern medical science. Yet, this book Yoga and Science in Pain Care: Treating the Person in Pain does it in an extraordinary manner. Having known all three editors and a majority of the contributors personally for many years, this exemplary contribution to the field of yoga therapy and healthcare, truly gladdens my heart as multidimensional applied aspects of yoga come alive in their universal magnificence. There is no greater joy and fulfillment of purpose in one's life than the ability and opportunity to help another fellow human being transcend their pain and suffering. This splendid book is a "must" for anyone who wishes to deal with the pandemic of persistent pain as it offers a way out of the maze of human suffering thus enabling us to become what we must BE; loving and compassionate humane beings. -- Yogacharya Dr Ananada Balayogi Bhavanani MBBS, MD (AM), DSc (Yoga), C-IAYT Member National Board for Yoga in the Ministry of AYUSH, Govt of India and Director, CYTER of Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth, Pondicherrry, India. www.sbvu.ac.in/cyterIn Yoga and Science in Pain Care, Pearson, Prosko, and Sullivan have crafted a scholarly and clinically oriented book linking Yoga practices and philosophy with the management of pain. This readable volume provides insight into how Yoga can become an integral component of a treatment model for pain. The contents bridge disciplines and provide, through various scientific and clinical perspectives, an accessible integrated understanding of how pain can be managed through a deeper understanding of yoga by exploring the methods, neurophysiological mechanisms, and philosophy embedded in various forms of yoga. -- Stephen W Porges, PhD, Distinguished University Scientist, Indiana University, Professor of Psychiatry, University of North Carolina, and author of The Pocket Guide to the Polyvagal Theory: The Transformative Power of Feeling SafePain is complex, requiring a multifaceted approach to successfully understanding and designing effective interventions for pain care. As a psychologist and yoga therapist who has worked in the field of pain management for over four decades, I deeply appreciate Yoga and Science in Pain Care as a valuable addition to the field of pain management. This carefully crafted book offers us a vast and priceless array of theoretical and practical insights, interventions, and resources for enhancing our ability to fully understand, support, and provide effective pain care for individuals living with pain. -- Richard C. Miller, PhD. Co-Founder, The International Association of Yoga Therapy and developer of iRest Meditation: Restorative Practices for Health, Resiliency, and Well-BeingYoga and Science in Pain Care is a 'master text' that seamlessly integrates contemporary scientific understanding with the breadth of yogic body-mind principles. Written in a manner that will appeal to both those appreciating a level of scientific rigor and those more attuned to the broader, more wholistic approach, this text should be part of the professional library for all yoga teachers and therapists. The list of editors and contributors is a 'who's who' of leaders in the field of therapeutic yoga. -- Leigh Blashki, C-IAYT, Past-President, Yoga Australia, Founder – Australian Institute of Yoga TherapyYoga and Science in Pain Care: Treating the Person in Pain is a book that every yoga teacher and therapist should study. It offers current, real, and inspired wisdom on the effects of acute or chronic pain and how to manage it through yoga. It addresses the complex issues around pain, and how mind/body yoga techniques can change the responses of our nervous system toward pain. This book offers hope to those suffering from pain and those who treat them. These compassionate therapists have provided for us through stories, scientific research, and experience, a safe and invaluable pathway to the future of successful pain management. -- Marion (Mugs) McConnell, author of Letters from the Yoga Masters: Teachings Revealed Through Correspondence from Paramhansa Yogananda, Ramana Maharshi, Swami Sivananda and OthersShelly Prosko, Neil Pearson and Marlysa Sullivan's book Yoga and Science in Pain Care is a must-read for all yoga therapists, yoga practitioners, researchers and of course, people in pain. The editors and contributors are all published authors and researchers with hands-on clinical experience, using yoga for healing. This unique book emphasizes the importance of empowering the patient to be actively involved and part of the healing process through yoga. I strongly recommend this book and congratulate the authors and the contributors. -- Shirley Telles, MBBS, Ph.D. Director, Patanjali Research FoundationPain exists in a spectrum, some of which is visible like a rainbow, other aspects intangible dark matter, and still other facets burn so bright they are unseeable. The authors of Yoga and Science in Pain Care have elegantly illuminated theory, history, clinical expertise, and personal practice so that laymen, clinicians, and the yoga community can have a resource on every page of this text. Jump into any chapter and deepen the trust you have in your own experience of pain while gaining insight, hope and new coping strategies for yourself or your clients. The book is kindly peppered with rich experiential moments that bring you into embodied consciousness in every chapter -- Jill Miller, author of The Roll Mode, Creator of Yoga Tune Up®Detailed and concise aren't two words that are often used together. That is what you will get in Yoga and Science in Pain Care. Whether you are looking for explanations of pain, or applications of the biopsychosocial model, or how being curious improves outcomes, there is plenty to sink your teeth into without either fluff or overwhelm. The time is right for this book, and I'm glad for its publication. It will help transform rehabilitation and healthcare. -- Susi Hately, B.Sc. Kin, C-IAYT, Training Health Professionals How to Integrate Yoga Into RehabilitationThis book is a comprehensive volume explaining the philosophy and practice of yoga, as well as its benefit as a complementary therapy for those who are suffering with pain.

I was hooked in the first chapter when I read, "My pain allowed me to develop a different relationship... and new understanding of myself." This book weaves hard science with self-empathy. It connects the inner workings of the nervous system with the ancient teachings of the gunas. I was truly fascinated reading every chapter. I found that I could not put the book down. It is ground breaking and every person who deals with pain personally or professionally will gain a new perspective. -- Amy Wheeler, Ph.D. Professor of Kinesiology at California State University, President of Board of the International Association of Yoga TherapistsYoga and Science in Pain Care is an extraordinarily in-depth, multi-dimensional look at pain.

Integrating contemporary science and ancient principles of being and practice, the authors illustrate creative, experiential, and heart-centered ways of serving those living in pain. -- Maxi Miciak PhD, PTYoga is a popular form of movement and meditation, used often by people experiencing pain as a way to develop confidence and capacity for coping with the challenge that persistent pain poses. This insightful and both research and experience-based book explores yoga therapy as a treatment and living practice. The authors provide an integrated, in-depth understanding of how yoga therapy can be incorporated within a modern understanding of pain as an experience. The book encompasses perspectives from people living with pain, summarises research progress in the field, debates theories of pain and pain management, considers the many different yoga practices, describes pain biology, self-regulation and examines breath, body awareness, nutrition, emotions and responses to pain, and above all, integrates concern for practitioners and people with pain as humans sharing an intangible experience together. The authors write with precision and care to ensure novice and expert alike will learn more about how yoga therapy can provide a uniting and compassionate approach to helping people with pain learn to live well. -- Bronwyn Lennox Thompson, PhD, MSc, DipOT, Postgraduate Academic Programme Leader, Pain and Pain Management, Orthopaedic Surgery & Musculoskeletal Medicine, University of Otago, Christchurch, NZThis book is the only book I've come across in the yoga space about pain science that is directly related to yoga.

Highly recommended for licensed health professionals, certified Yoga therapists,Yoga teachers and anyone in pain. -- Larry Payne Ph.D., C-IAYT, E-RYT500 Founding director Yoga Therapy Rx & Prime of Life Yoga programs Loyola Marymount UniversityThe evolution of yoga in the modern world had led to a reevaluation of what the gurus taught us about the body, pain and healing. As teachers are moving away from dogmas into new awareness, the cutting edge of pain science is providing valuable information and insights. In Yoga and Science in Pain Care: Treating the Person in Pain, we are presented with a clear assessment of where we are and where the research is leading us. This collection of clinicians, practitioners and thinkers provides us a roadmap for bridging the best of east and west, and advancing our knowledge of humanity for the greater good. -- J. Brown, Yoga Teacher, Writer, PodcasterThe collaboration of these dedicated educators, most of whom I know and dearly value, is a gift to professionals in the field, and in turn, to those who suffer. They have put forth an authentic, credible, practical, compassionate and thorough exploration of the experiences of, and caring for, human "beings".Viewed through the lenses of modern science and yogic wisdom, it proves to hold deep respect for the uniqueness of individuals living with pain by honouring the complexity of the human system. -- Helene Couvrette C-IATY, E-RYT500, Yoga Educator President MISTY - Montreal International Symposium on Therapeutic YogaSomeone with a painful back doesn't think about a forward bend in the same way as a yoga teacher, or pain scientist. Yoga and Science in Pain Care will help you translate different languages for talking about the body and mind, and build a vision of Yoga for pain relief that is accurate, compassionate and empowering. -- Todd Hargrove, Author of Playing With Movement: How to Explore the Many Dimensions of Physical Performance and HealthThe medical industry has oversimplified and overtreated patients in a fragmented way without addressing the wholeness of their suffering and perpetuating a myopic view of pain. Yoga and Science in Pain Care will help the world see that the yogic wisdom of the ages is converging with scientific revelations-that the only way toward sustainable transformation for those suffering with pain is to restore the whole person and facilitate change in all of its complexity. -- Melissa Cady, D.O.

All readers, regardless of their past experience with yoga or pain science, will treasure this book as an essential resource for its comprehensive, yet relaxed and conversational approach to complex topics. -- Susan Tupper, PT, PhD, Strategy Consultant, Pain Quality Improvement, Saskatchewan Health AuthorityAfter first experiencing one of Pearson's lectures, I suddenly felt I had been given permission by the scientific evidence to use my yoga toolset to work with my own pain - to actually listen to my body and respond - thus sparking a pivotal moment where I entered into a healthy relationship with my pain. I began supporting my clients to do the same, and have since brought Pearson and Prosko back to give lectures, where I've watched them ignite this same spark in students and rehabilitation professionals alike. And in this new book by Pearson, Prosko, Sullivan and other fellow spirited change-makers, I see the same spark - an influence that will no doubt continue to radiate, illuminating the way to a necessary paradigm shift in pain care. -- Cassi Kit Director, Faculty, & Administrative Coordinator Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT, PYT)Yoga and Science in Pain Care provides both patients and practitioners alike with a truly unique guide to decoding the pain puzzle with science and yoga-based therapeutics. In an ever-evolving arena of research, discovery and perspectives, each chapter takes a science-based approach to analyzing different angles of pain care that together creates the most comprehensive body of work available on the topic. -- Diana Zotos Florio, Physical Therapist, Yoga Teacher, Strength & Conditioning Specialist MPT, CYT, CSCSI am confident you will learn as much as I did while reading this amazing timely collaborative book- about unique approaches to yoga in the setting of chronic pain, such as Lori Rubenstein Fazzio's Virtual MRI, Michael Lee's conditions for transformation, not to mention what we do and do not yet know about how yoga impacts the course of persistent pain. This text is destined to become an instant classic and required reading in the field of yoga therapy, and its impact will no doubt be felt in many other fields working with persistent pain. -- Baxter Bell, MD, co-author of the book Yoga for Healthy AgingThis extraordinary exploration of the multi-dimensional experience called "Pain" will greatly benefit not only yoga therapists, but a wide range of healthcare practitioners from psychologists and physiotherapists to even nutritionists, who all share the desire to care for their clients as individuals from an integrative and biopsychological-spiritual perspective -- Maggie Reagh, Director of Yoga Therapy International www.yogatherapyinternational.comThis is an essential resource for yoga teachers too, as it is not uncommon for doctors to recommend yoga to their patients for back pain. Yoga teachers tend to work with people in pain at some point; and while it is not our job to treat them, it is our responsibility to help them. The authors of Yoga and Science in Pain Care have done a stellar job integrating pain science into the context of yoga. Utilizing this current information on pain science will bring a new level of integrity and professionalism to yoga teachers. -- Ariana Rabinovitch Founder, YogaResearchandBeyond.comA refreshing holistic approach to pain care which integrates a biopsychosocial framework for managing pain and moving through life with more grace and freedom.

Book Synopsis* Why has 'the discursive turn' been sidelined in the development of a social theory of disability, and what has been the result of this?* How might a social theory of disability which fully incorporates the multidimensional and multifunctional role of language be described?* What would such a theory contribute to a more inclusive understanding of 'discourse' and 'culture'?The idea that disability is socially created has, in recent years, been increasingly legitimated within social, cultural and policy frameworks and structures which view disability as a form of social oppression. However, the materialist emphasis of these frameworks and structures has sidelined the growing recognition of the central role of language in social phenomena which has accompanied the 'linguistic turn' in social theory. As a result, little attention has been paid within Disability Studies to analysing the role of language in struggle and transformation in power relations and the engineering oTrade Review"Most new books recycle existing thought, but occasionallya book comes along which offers a new set of ideas and a fresh perspective. This international compilation does both: it provides the familiar alongside the normal." - The Times Educational Supplement "Disability and the Dilemmas of Education and Justice pulls no punches. It is a relentless critique of our current special educational needs system and of those who work in it." - Special Children "A thought provoking and interesting book, that raises many valuable issues. Certainly worth a read for all involved in special education." - Education Review "I have for over 30 years been concerned with the education of students with a variety of disabilities and of various degrees of disability, andbelieved that I had acquired a knowledge of most of theproblems experienced by disabled people. However, after reading the essays containedin this book my eyes have been opened to a myriad of other problems experienced by them, and for me the essays have opened up new avenues of thought on education as it affects disabled students.The writing of this book has long been overdue." - EducationToday "...a must for students...It brings special needs into the wide cultural arena which seems to me to be where it must be located as we moveinto the twenty-first century." - British Educational Research Journal "This book is stronglyrecommendedto anyone involved in special education." - Educational Research "...a book that will inform and enlighten even the most veteran and knowledgeable members of the special education profession...At the same time, it is written in sufficient detail and with enough background information to allow its ideas to be accessible to newcomers or lay readers.

Book SynopsisThe rehabilitation professions are under pressure to innovate in order to deliver services to a growing market of increasingly savvy consumers. These consumers are no longer limited to their conventional care choices and have access to quality online resources for many of their needs. Rehabilitation professionals'' pressures are compounded by increased productivity demands, technical information overload, and increasing risks for professional burnout. In short, rehabilitation is in need of rehabilitation in order to transition into the next generation of health care delivery. Unfortunately innovation and creativity have not been, nor are they now, in the curriculums of these professions. The schools continue to churn out graduates doing what has been done before, and current providers are admonished by their professional organisations to practice only what has high level research evidence to support the practice. Meanwhile, veteran professionals as both employees and owners find themselves faced with the acute need to innovate in order to survive and flourish. This book fills the critical void in knowledge and application of how to best transform both the individual and the organisations that are responsible for professional practice, education, and policy.

Book SynopsisMost of what has been learned about how the brain mediates behaviour comes from experiments of nature where a stroke or other damage to the brain produces changes in a person''s behaviour. In Matter of Mind, one of the leading figures in behavioural and cognitive neurology uses patient vignettes and other examples from his rich professional life to show just how much knowledge about brain functions such as reading, writing, language, control of emotions, skilled movement, perception, attention, and motiviation has been gained from the study of patients with diseases of or damage to the brain. No knowledge of neurology or neuroscience is required to understand the book, which is intended for neurological patients and their families. It will also be of interest to professionals who study the brain or treat patients with brain damage including neuropsychologists, neurologists, neuroscientists, psychologists, speech pathologists, occupational and physical therapists, and their students andTrade ReviewFor those fascinated by neurobehavioural syndromes and how the disordered mind can be understood from intensive observation and experimental deduction . . . [this book] offers an important perspective . . . an adventurous romp through the modern history of behavioural neurology . . . fosters an appreciation for the intricacies and subtlety of brain-behaviour relationships.

Book SynopsisHands are miraculous tools that are used both for sensing and acting on the world. Although a great deal of research has been conducted on human hand function, there is no coherent presentation of it to guide those seeking to understand its current state. This volume surveys normal hand function in healthy individuals and presents a new conceptual framework for organising and analysing what is known about it. Jones and Lederman organise human-hand research on a continuum that ranges from activities that are essentially sensory to those with a strong motor component. They distinguish four broad categories along the continuum: tactile sensing, active haptic sensing, sensory-guided action, and non-prehensile skilled movements. These categories are used to consider critical aspects of the hand, including the sensory and motor basis of manual function, the role of different parts of the hand in perception and action, tasks the hand can perform, and the changes in manual function from birth Trade Review"...a work of impressive scholarship that combines the breadth of coverage normally found only in edited collections, with the conceptual integration and uniformity of style that characterize the best single-authored works...Human Hand Function deserves to be read and reread by anyone with a serious interest in the hand's sensory and motor functions and the cognitive processes that control them."--Mark Hollins, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "...a very well written and extensive compilation of a diverse literature on the hand as a perceptual organ."--Robert H. LaMotte, Yale University School of Medicine "...a comprehensive, thorough, and cohesive work by two noted authorities on haptic perception and control...while the scope is broad, the coverage is at the same time deep. The citations, which I didn't try to count, must run to well over 1000 in number-themselves worth the price of admission."--Lawrence E. Marks, John B. Pierce Laboratory "In Human Hand Function, Jones and Lederman have produced a work of impressive scholarship that combines the breadth of coverage normally found only in edited collections, with the conceptual integration and uniformity of style that characterize the best single-authored works. It is deeply informed and authoritative, yet clear and engaging, and does not require technical knowledge on the part of the reader. The organizational framework is logical and satisfying. Human Hand Function deserves to be read and reread by anyone with a serious interest in the hands sensory and motor functions and the cognitive processes that control them." --Mark Hollins, Professor of Psychology, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "This is a very well written and extensive compilation of a diverse literature on the hand as a perceptual organ. It is not so much a critical evaluation or novel synthesis of scientific findings but rather a unique description, listing and bringing together of the literature--from tactile sensing and sensory neurophysiology to haptic processing, interfaces, and methods of evaluating hand function. In this regard it succeeds admirably and provides a valuable resource for both the novice and the specialist. Each will find a great deal that they will not have realized existed and gain insight into what remains to be discovered." --Robert H. LaMotte, Professor of Anesthesiology and Neurobiology, Yale University School of Medicine "At last, a book devoted to the functions of that marvelous instrument of evolution, the human hand! Human Hand Function is a comprehensive, thorough, and cohesive work by two noted authorities on haptic perception and control. The authors consider the functions of the human hand broadly, from multiple perspectives, including tactile and haptic perception, sensory physiology, motor function, cognitive control, and robotics. And while the scope is broad, the coverage is at the same time deep. The citations, which I didnt try to count, must run to well over 1000 in number--themselves worth the price of admission.

Book SynopsisEthical Practice in Brain Injury Rehabilitation helps rehabilitation professionals deal effectively with the difficult ethical dilemmas that regularly face them in their daily clinical practice. The book takes a multiprofessional perspective, focusing on issues facing therapists, doctors, nurses, and psychologists, and will also be helpful to relatives of people with acquired brain injury. It treats ethics as a special case of good professional practice and takes a practical psychological approach, looking at the thoughts, feelings, and actions that are involved in taking ethical decisions, carrying them out, and living with their consequences.The book tells the story of brain injury from the patients'' perspective, and argues that patient-centred practice that strives to uphold patient autonomy and support the reconstitution of personal identity is the basis of good rehabilitation.
