Sleep is considered one of the vital signs and has become an
important public health issue in our society. Thus, sleep impacts
on overall health and, conversely, certain common medical
conditions can impair sleep. Emerging evidence, in conjunction with
clinical experience, demonstrates that physical therapy improves
several sleep disorders and also optimized sleep contributes to
boost rehabilitation. As health care professionals, physical
therapists are singularly concerned with well-being and need to be
competent to instruct their patients to rest and sleep.This book
discusses evidences of physiotherapy and sleep medicine. It
elucidates the neurophysiological background and mechanisms for
physiotherapeutic resources and techniques, directing the future
for promising research in the area. Divided in seven sections, the
work initially addresses the basic concepts of sleep and
physiotherapy and its relation to practice, including the
importance of sleep medicine for health. The second section focuses
on the basic conceptions of physical therapists' understanding and
working in clinical practice and research with sleep.The next
section reviews the most common sleep disturbances such as
insomnia, restless legs syndrome, and respiratory sleep
disturbances. Special populations, spotlighting childhood and
adolescence, women physiologic reproductive stages, sleep and
gender, and sleep and pain interactions are also examined. Last
sections discuss the physical therapy resources to improve sleep
and to treat sleep disturbances. This title is an essential
resource not only for graduate students, residents, health
professionals and physiotherapists working in prevention and
rehabilitation, but also for researchers interested in screening,
diagnostic and treatment innovations. It is addressed to
neurologists, sleep medicine specialists and physical educators as
well.
