Physical therapy is a health profession that assesses and provides treatment to individuals to develop, maintain and restore maximum movement and function throughout life. This includes providing treatment in circumstances where movement and function are threatened by ageing, injury, disease or environmental factors. This important book presents current research in the study of physical therapy including: therapies and motor function assessments in chronic pain syndromes; fibromyalgia syndrome; breathing pattern disorders in physical therapy; home-based shoulder rehabilitation; isokinetic strengthening in multiple sclerosis patients; and traditional mirror therapy (TMT) in the physical therapy management of movement and postural control problems.
Developed in conjunction with a health practitioner and professor of anatomy, Joints of the Lower Extremities Anatomical Chart is designed to provide anatomical layered views that allow practitioners to explain health conditions and injuries to their patients and clients. Chiropractors, massage therapists, orthopedists, and general practitioners will find the images valuable in the communication process. Images show key bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and arteries: posterior hip; anterior hip and thigh; posterior knee; anterior knee; medial knee; lateral knee; medial ankle and foot; and lateral ankle and foot.
This handy manual provides step-by-step guidelines on how to generate top-quality, high-yield images - from setting exposure factors, to positioning the patient, to providing patient instructions. Features: *Positioning photographs specific to chiropractic *Simple outline format enhanced by bulleted information points *Organization by anatomical location *2-page spread on each common x-ray *Line drawings that clarify normal anatomy *Coverage of quality control, safety, and set-up of the radiologic suite *Summary of principles of advanced imaging |
