In this ground-breaking collection, leading experts in the field address the problems of parents, intervenors, and professionals who work with people who have been deafblind since birth or from a very early age. Individuals who are congenitally deafblind face the same challenges as those who become deafblind later in life, but they have not had the same opportunity to develop the communications skills and a conceptual base needed to construct an understanding of the world. The contributors address identification of deafblindness, planning and intervention, development, family support, and education. Just as McInnes and Treffry's "Deafblind Infants and Children" helped to change the approach to and the perception of deafblind children, this collection will assist in fostering a new approach to the education of and support for older children, youth and adults who are deafblind. An essential part of this process is to set forth standards for program development, implementation, and evaluation, which this volume aims to accomplish. It will make an essential contribution to the expanding field of services for the deafblind population of all ages, and to the improved understanding of parents, family members, and professionals who support them.

Part sport and part exercise, running boosts health, longevity and mental well-being. However, running is a demanding activity that can potentially tax the runner's body and mind. Therefore, possessing durability for running-a fusion of toughness and flexibility-is desirable to enhance a runner's physical and mental experience. This book-the first of its kind to combine corrective exercise, self-myofascial release, and yoga-empowers runners with measures to avoid unnecessary pain, injury and burnout. It is a comprehensive guide to creating a simple and efficient system of personalized supplemental training in which runners learn to identify and address areas of imbalance and overuse. These training methods increase strength, stability, mobility, and resiliency, and require as little as 15 minutes per day to implement. Runners can decrease the risk of injury, improve running performance, and maintain joint health. The result: a more durable body and mind that will support your running-and your life-for years to come.
Man hort auf kaum einem Gebiete der Therapie so widersprechende Urteile, als wenn man einzelne Arzte nach ihren Erfahrungen mit Schlafmitteln fragt. Der praktische Arzt hat nicht die Zeit, fur dieses kleine Teilgebiet aus der in der Literatur niedergelegten Gesamterfahrung nach rein statistischen Methoden sich ein klareres Bild selbst zu schaffen. Ich gebe in folgendem eine solche Zusammenstellung, in der freilich eine Reihe von Unstimmigkeiten selbst bei Berucksichtigung des psychischen Faktors (suggestive Kraft des Arztes, Neuheit des Mittels) vorhanden sind. Diese Widerspruche zeigen, dass das so gewonnene Bild keine Unterlage fur die Behandlung des Einzelfalles ist. Hierfur ist zunachst die Kenntnis der seelischen und korperlichen Vorgange im Schlafe erforderlich, die einerseits zu den Nebenwirkungen der Schlafmittel in enger Beziehung stehen, andererseits eine Analyse der Schlafstorungen erlauben. Obwohl ich mir der Einwande bewusst bin, gebe ich aus praktischen Erwagungen heraus eine Einteilung nach den gleichen Gesichtspunkten. Eine Einteilung ist des Uberblicks halber wunschenswert, und die hier gewahlte Gruppierung fasst solche Mittel zusammen, die sich untereinander vertreten konnen. Sie gibt ausserdem einen Anhaltspunkt fur Art und Grad der Nebenwirkungen sowie die Schwere der Vergiftungen. Eine weitere Vorbedingung erfolgreicher Therapie, deren Vernachlassigung zu mancherlei Widerspruchen gefuhrt hat, ist die Beachtung des ursachlichen Grundleidens. Schlafstorung ist ein Symptom vieler Erkrankungen, manchmal das erste und das am meisten hervorstechende, weshalb viel zu oft eine primare Schlafstorung diagnostiziert wird, eine Diagnose, die man grundsatzlich als Eingestandnis unseres unvollkommenen Wissens ansehen sollte."
Accurate diagnosis of paediatric illness is, at times, more challenging than diagnosis of adult illness because children, especially those of a very young age, are often unable to describe or illustrate their symptoms. This book is a practical guide to clinical examination of children for diagnosis of diseases and disorders. Beginning with an introduction to communication skills with both children and their parents, the next chapters discuss the importance of history taking and offer guidance on general physical examination techniques. The following sections cover more specific examination for each system of the body – respiratory, nervous, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, eyes, skin and more. The book concludes with discussion on ethical and legal matters, diagnosis of death, and common procedures in paediatrics. Clinical photographs, illustrations and tables for quick and easy reference, further enhance the comprehensive text. Key points Comprehensive guide to paediatric clinical examination techniques Emphasis on importance of communication skills and accurate history taking Covers all systems of the body Highly illustrated with clinical photographs, diagrams and tables

There's a new buzzword in the fitness world: fascia. It's the connective tissue that wraps around your muscles and organs and helps keep everything in place. But in our increasingly busy and often stressful lives, tension and toxins are often stored within our fascia, resulting in serious long-term consequences, such as excess weight, acute anxiety, chronic pain and poor posture. Fitness and alignment expert Lauren Roxburgh - who has worked with such stars as Gwyneth Paltrow, Gabby Reece and Melissa Rauch - has the solution to keep your fascia supple, flexible and strong. Using only a foam roller, you can reshape and elongate your muscles, release tension, break up scar tissue and rid yourself of toxins for a leaner, younger look. In just 15 minutes a day, Roxburgh's 21-day programme will guide you through a simple series of her unique rolling techniques that target 10 primary areas of the body, including the shoulders, chest, arms, legs, hips, bottom, back and stomach. The end result is a healthy, balanced, aligned body that not only looks but feels fantastic. Includes over 80 photographs to help guide you through the exercises.

Partendo dall analisi del segno il testo affronta i principali difetti (impairment) che possono interessare l arto inferiore nel bambino affetto da paralisi cerebrale infantile. Per ciascuna delle tre principali stazioni di movimento (piede, ginocchio e anca) vengono considerate le possibili cause del segno, le manovre di semeiotica clinica e strumentale (gait analysis) in grado di evidenziarle, le proposte di chirurgia funzionale piu praticate capaci di modificarle. Per ciascun intervento chirurgico viene fornita una descrizione sintetica della procedura e dei tempi di interdizione dal carico, il protocollo di addestramento fisioterapico nell immediato postoperatorio e quello da seguire dalla ripresa del carico in poi. Il testo e correlato da una ricca iconografia e da una bibliografia aggiornata. Un glossario ragionato permette di conoscere il significato dei principali termini utilizzati. Un capitolo conclusivo analizza le strategie dell approccio chirurgico nelle principali forme di paralisi cerebrale infantile.
Questo manuale e stato scritto da due fisioterapiste e una terapista occupazionale.Gli autori hanno impostato la loro opera in modo pratico, ponendo l'accento sul problema motorio e inserendo nel testo schede operative, intese come suggerimenti per l'impostazione del trattamento fisioterapico. Un'ampia parte, dedicata alla terapia occupazionale, mette a fuoco i problemi degli arti superiori e traccia i possibili percorsi da seguire per un intervento abilitativo funzionale. Inoltre un capitolo, scritto da un bioingegnere, sottolinea l'importanza attribuita dagli autori agli aspetti biomeccanici del controllo motorio. Il libro sara quindi una guida preziosa, oltre che uno stimolo a migliorare l'approccio terapeutico nei confronti della persona-bambino.

This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated, and the colour format is greatly improved. More clinical photographs have been added in the text for better understanding of orthopaedic conditions, and new surgical photographs have been included where needed, which is an additional bonus for physiotherapy students, for they seldom get a chance to witness live surgeries in their career. Gaining an insight into the operative pictures with help them understand the treatment of orthopaedic conditions better, and this will make them better physiotherapists. Many new X-rays have been added to enhance and enrich their clinical knowledge. Plenty of orthopaedic techniques, like reduction of a fracture or a dislocation, have been shown to improve understanding of the treatment of common orthopaedic conditions. All the attractive features of the previous edition, like short summaries, mnemonics, and anecdotes, have been retained, as these were very popular with the physiotherapy fraternity.
