This book comprehensively addresses the physics and engineering aspects of human physiology by using and building on first-year college physics and mathematics. Topics include the mechanics of the static body and the body in motion, the mechanical properties of the body, muscles in the body, the energetics of body metabolism, fluid flow in the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, the acoustics of sound waves in speaking and hearing, vision and the optics of the eye, the electrical properties of the body, and the basic engineering principles of feedback and control in regulating all aspects of function. The goal of this text is to clearly explain the physics issues concerning the human body, in part by developing and then using simple and subsequently more refined models of the macrophysics of the human body. Many chapters include a brief review of the underlying physics. There are problems at the end of each chapter; solutions to selected problems are also provided. This second edition enhances the treatments of the physics of motion, sports, and diseases and disorders, and integrates discussions of these topics as they appear throughout the book. Also, it briefly addresses physical measurements of and in the body, and offers a broader selection of problems, which, as in the first edition, are geared to a range of student levels. This text is geared to undergraduates interested in physics, medical applications of physics, quantitative physiology, medicine, and biomedical engineering.

Prescribing the right aquatic exercise program for those with functional limitations is challenging, in part because the literature on water exercise is limited. That prescription is made all the more difficult when working with clients and patients with a wide range of limitations. "Aquatic Exercise for Rehabilitation and Training" shows professionals how to design aquatic rehabilitation and exercise programs for various groups and individuals across the life span. The authors guide readers in choosing the right exercises for their clients--including the appropriate exercise frequency, intensity, and duration--based on each client's abilities and limitations.

The authors compiled literature on water exercise from around the world and applied the information to a variety of situations. The book presents several current theories as well as a historical view for each theory and description of treatment implementation. The theories and principles are presented with the use of a regional- and system-based approach. "Aquatic Exercise for Rehabilitation and Training" also has the following features:

-Descriptions of the physiological responses--including those of the pulmonary, renal, musculoskeletal, and neuromuscular systems--to immersion and water exercise, preparing clinicians for how the body reacts to an aquatic environment

-Indications and contraindications for participation in water programs, providing an understanding of how the physical properties of water and exercise combine advantageously

-Descriptions of the responsibilities of various aquatic team members and patient management across the full spectrum of care"Aquatic Exercise for Rehabilitation and Training" is liberally illustrated and comes with a DVD that demonstrates nearly half of the book's exercises and highlights key points for each. The DVD also contains printable evaluation sheets that will help you identify your clients' needs, evaluate specific therapies based on those needs, and choose the best therapies for your clients.

Fundamentals in rotator cuff repair and reconstruction from world-renowned experts! Rotator cuff disorders are the most common cause of shoulder pain, accounting for up to 70% of cases. Tears are the most severe subtype, with a lifetime prevalence rate of more than 20%. The size, location, and severity of rotator cuff tears varies greatly, requiring equally diverse preoperative planning and surgical interventions. Video Atlas of Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair by Uma Srikumaran and esteemed contributors provides a concise, well-rounded perspective on the surgical management of rotator cuff pathologies. Expert surgeons from across the globe describe and demonstrate numerous approaches, enabling clinicians to expand their armamentarium and achieve optimal outcomes. The opening chapters lay a solid foundation, covering basic techniques for arthroscopic repair of various rotator cuff tear patterns, patient positioning, portal placement, tips and tricks, complications, and pitfalls. Subsequent chapters succinctly discuss a comprehensive range of arthroscopic and transosseous techniques, biologic augmentation, grafting, tendon transfers, and superior capsular reconstruction. Key Features Easy-to-digest bulleted format and narrated step-by-step videos on diverse techniques Discussion of different core procedures to manage rotator cuff tears, biceps tendon pathology, as well as failed primary surgeries Videos on superior capsule reconstruction and lower trap tendon transfer narrated by the technique creators Varied perspectives on the controversial topic of how to manage massive and irreparable tears This is a must-have resource for orthopaedic surgery residents and fellows, especially shoulder and sports injury specialists. This book includes complimentary access to a digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.

Shoulder pain is one of the most common reasons for patient visits to orthopedic, physiatrist, primary care and sports medicine offices. Most books that cover this topic review it as a chapter within a larger book on orthopedics as a whole, or they focus on one specific aspect of shoulder pathology, such as osteoarthritis. This practical text is an evidence-based, user-friendly review of the literature for the breadth of shoulder pathologies that present to the busy practitioner. Opening with a review of the relevant anatomy, subsequent chapters discuss injuries to the rotator cuff, biceps tendonitis, labral tears, adhesive capsulitis, and osteoarthritis. Additional chapters cover shoulder pain in the pediatric patient, sports trauma and fractures, and medical causes of shoulder pain. And while reviewing pathology and its diagnosis and treatment is important, proceeding through real case studies is extremely valuable in bringing the diagnosis and treatment of shoulder pathologies to life, hence an engaging section of clinical case material rounds out the presentation. Taken together, A Case-Based Approach to Shoulder Pain will be an ideal resource for musculoskeletal medicine practitioners of all types.

This book describes and discusses the available joint preservation techniques for maintaining the stability homeostasis of the lower extremity joints - specifically the hip, knee, and ankle - following injury. Readers will find detailed coverage of anatomy, pathology, techniques for repair, restoration, and regeneration, and rehabilitation strategies. Joint preservation is an emerging field in Orthopaedics that represents a response to the limitations of joint replacement technology. Using the techniques now available, surgeons can try to prevent or delay the onset of osteoarthritis or other degenerative conditions affecting the joints, particularly in young patients. Furthermore, modern tissue engineering offers the potential for whole-joint resurfacing, thereby achieving complete restoration. Optimal implementation of these techniques depends upon further refinement of methods and continuing improvements in knowledge of biomechanics, biology, and anatomy. Against this background, the present book is an ideal guide to the latest treatment modalities that will appeal to all who wish to learn more about indications, goals, procedures, and expected outcomes.
