Clinical Neurodynamics


Book Description

Applies and modifies Maitland techniques to neural mobilization, refining and improving practical skills for clinical physiotherapists and physically-based occupational therapists. The text outlines the concept of neurodynamics and the basic mechanisms in movement of the nervous system and describes what can go wrong. Causal mechanisms are linked to diagnosis and treatment of pain and musculoskeletal problems in a systematic way. Various treatment techniques for each diagnostic category are presented and applied to specific clinical problems such as neck pain, headache, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, low back pain to name a few. These are common problems in which therapists often miss a neural component




Rehabilitación Ortopédica Clínica


Book Description

Referencia imprescindible para todos los especialistas en afecciones del sistema musculoesquelético que ofrece la información más actualizada y consensuada, partiendo de un enfoque multidisciplinar y una base empírica, acerca de las técnicas de rehabilitación no quirúrgica y posquirúrgica. Cubre un importante hueco en la bibliografía existente, ya que a pesar de que el impacto del tratamiento rehabilitador en los resultados a largo plazo con frecuencia es igual o mayor al de la cirugía inicial, este tema no ha sido tratado de manera tan exhaustiva y rigurosa con anterioridad. Se trata de un texto conciso e ilustrado con imágenes muy clarificadoras y representativas que presenta las principales técnicas de exploración, sistemas de clasificación de las diferentes afecciones, diagnósticos diferenciales, las posibles opciones terapéuticas y los protocolos de rehabilitación más eficaces de los problemas musculoesqueléticos más frecuentes en la consulta del traumatólogo y fisioterapeuta. Destacan los criterios específicos que se aportan para saber cuándo pasar de una fase de rehabilitación a la siguiente y también para que el profesional pueda establecer cuándo podrá el paciente volver al trabajo o reiniciar la práctica deportiva. Resultan también de interés los algoritmos que permiten conocer de "un vistazo" las pautas terapéuticas y protocolos de rehabilitación.

Articular Cartilage Defects of the Knee


Book Description

This book reviews current knowledge on the diagnosis and treatment (surgical and non-surgical) of cartilage defects at the knee joint. In the discussion of diagnosis, the focus is primarily on imaging findings, particularly those obtained with MRI. The remainder of the book is devoted to the full range of current conservative and surgical treatments, with attention to both treatment indications and results as reported in the recent literature. In reviewing non-surgical treatment, oral and intra-articular medical management is evaluated and rehabilitation and physical therapy are also considered. The three main types of surgical technique – microfracture surgery and similar procedures, mosaicplasty and related techniques, and autologous chondrocyte transplantation – are then extensively discussed in a series of highly informative chapters. This book will be of great practical value for clinicians, assisting in daily decision making.
