When people think about physical exercise, they imagine athletic
competitions and sculpted bodies. More than simply a way to achieve
the best performance or a beautiful shape, physical exercise can
promote and reestablish health. Physical therapy is a specific area
of the health sciences specialised in treating and recovering the
human body impaired by illness, an accident or surgeries. In order
to restore the human body's functionality, physical therapy has
several different techniques and resources that include physical
exercises as an important tool used in rehabilitation programs.
Throughout this book, you will encounter different physical
exercises used in physical therapy to evaluate and establish
rehabilitation programs. These are aimed at revitalising the body's
function in five different areas: cardiorespiratory, orthopedics,
neurology, gynecology and gerontology. In the cardiorespiratory
section, you will understand the importance of oxygen provision
during postural challenges a dynamic exercises. In addition, this
same section explains the beneficial effects of physical exercises
for patients with coronary artery disease and how physical
exercises are used for pulmonary rehabilitation. The orthopedics
section has very important concepts about how physical exercises
are used to treat patellofemoral pain, knee osteoarthritis and
shoulder dysfunctions. The neurology section brings actual concepts
about the use of gait training for neurological rehabilitation; it
explains the importance of strength training applied to
neurorehabilitation and how physical exercises can be used to treat
children with cerebral palsy. The gerontology section demonstrates
the importance of motivation and adherence to physical exercises by
elderly adults and also their dropout. Finally, the gynecology
section brings concepts and physical exercises to evaluate and
rehabilitate the pelvic floor muscles. It also brings to light the
effects of physical activity on these muscles in pregnant women.
After reading this book, you will increase your knowledge about how
physical exercise can assess, treat and promote health for the life
of your patients and your own life.
