Athletic Injuries: Functional Taping and Bracing provides students with a comprehensive, highly visual guide to managing athletic injuries with effective taping and bracing strategies. Each chapter of the text focuses on a different area of the body and presents critical information regarding types of injuries along with various current taping and bracing techniques. The opening chapter focuses on the foot, first providing information about chronic foot and lower leg injuries, then introducing arch taping procedures, low dye technique methods, the X-arch taping method, and more. Proceeding chapters address specific taping and bracing procedures for the ankle, lower leg, knee, hip, thigh, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, and digits. Through the various taping and bracing procedures, students learn about the mechanisms of common injuries to these areas of the body. They become knowledgeable regarding the prevention, recognition, and treatment of common sport-related injuries. Designed to help students learn how to competently and confidently recognize and manage injuries suffered by athletes, Athletic Injuries is an ideal resource for courses in health science, exercise science, sports medicine, kinesiology, and physical therapy.

A Case-Based Approach to Learning Ethics in Physical Therapy Ethics in Physical Therapy utilizes a unique case-based approach to teach students and clinicians how to apply theoretical concepts to real-world situations. The cases were carefully selected to encourage thinking and discussion. The accompanying text provides a framework to answer the "should" questions, such as "What should I do?" and "How should I act?" The format provides the opportunity to move beyond the individual realm, when appropriate, resolving issues within an institutional or societal perspective. The text is divided into two sections: "Ethics for the Physical Therapist" and "Types of Ethical Decisions: Case Analysis". They are designed to integrate with one another, but, each section can also be used separately. Part I provides more didactic, foundational material, while Part II strives to apply ethical decision-making tools to relevant cases in physical therapy practice, with the second section focusing on case analyses. The purpose of Ethics in Physical Therapy is to give students and clinicians a lens through which to analyze contemporary ethical challenges. Philosophical theory within the text is limited to that which can be applied practically in the clinical setting. This book is not intended to be a work on ethical behavior, rather, it is designed to provide students and clinicians with a framework in which to approach the uncertainty of ethical decision making with tools to aid their inherent judgment.

This clinical textbook will update the reader on the relevant anatomy, known biomechanics, clinical assessment, musculoskeletal conditions and treatment of the thorax and how these relate to the function of the whole body. An integrated biopsychosocial model (the Integrated Systems Model - ISM) will be highlighted in this text and used as a foundation for clinicians to organize their knowledge from multiple sources. The text emphasizes the current suggestion from the evidence that treatment be individualized and that clinical reasoning form the basis for treatment decisions. Richly illustrated with 3D-rendered colour anatomical drawings, and over 250 clinical photographs, The Thorax: An integrated approach is the definitive manual on the thorax for all bodyworkers helping patients improve mobility and control of the trunk.

Neue Ausstattung, noch "lernfreundlicher": die detaillierte Einfuhrung in die Grundlagen der Reflexlokomotion (reflektorische Muskelaktivitat). Sie tritt eigentlich "automatisch" auf, aber nicht wenn Stoerungen vorliegen wie z.B. neurophysiologische Entwicklungsstoerungen, Hirntrauma-Folgen oder Fehlhaltungen. Detailgenau beschreibt dieses Buch wie die Vojta-Therapie (inkl. Ausloesepunkte bzw. -zonen) die gewunschte Muskelaktivitat foerdert. Diese 3. vollstandig uberarbeitete Auflage enthalt Schritt-fur-Schritt-Anleitungen zu jeder Technik. Die Vojta-Therapie ist etabliert und daher bei Physiotherapeuten als Fortbildungsthema stark nachgefragt.

Paul Geraedts fuhrt in diesem essential in die wichtigsten UEbungsbehandlungsmethoden der Physiotherapie ein. Der Autor betrachtet den aktuellen Stellenwert der medizinischen UEbungsbehandlung im gesamten Behandlungsspektrum der Physiotherapie und gibt einen Ausblick auf eine inhaltliche Weiterentwicklung der medizinischen UEbungsbehandlung im Rahmen der derzeitigen Akademisierung der Physiotherapie. Alternative passive kurative Verfahren wie manuelle Techniken, alternative Medizin und die immer noch zunehmenden Wirbelsaulen- und Gelenkoperationen drohen immer mehr, die Bewegungstherapie zu verdrangen. Dennoch konnten sich in Deutschland viele UEbungsbehandlungsmethoden etablieren, womit sowohl die wichtige Rolle von Bewegung bei der Behandlung als auch bei der Pravention von Ruckenbeschwerden fur alle Altersgruppen bestatigt wird.
