This book provides an extensive review of what innovation means in
healthcare, with real-life examples and guidance on how to
successfully innovate with IT in healthcare.
Since the third edition of Grieve's Modern Manual Therapy was
published in 2005, the original concepts of manipulative therapy
have grown to embrace new research-generated knowledge. Expansions
in practice have adopted new evidence which include consideration
of psychological or social moderators. The original manual therapy
or manipulative therapy approaches have transformed into
musculoskeletal physiotherapy and this is recognized by the change
in title for the new fourth edition - Grieve's Modern
Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy. Grieve's Modern Musculoskeletal
Physiotherapy continues to bring together the latest
state-of-the-art research, from both clinical practice and the
related basic sciences, which is most relevant to practitioners.
The topics addressed and the contributing authors reflect the best
and most clinically relevant contemporary work within the field of
musculoskeletal physiotherapy. With this as its foundation and a
new six-strong editorial team at its helm, the fourth edition now
expands its focus from the vertebral column to the entire
musculoskeletal system. For the first time both the spine and
extremities are covered, capturing the key advances in science and
practices relevant to musculoskeletal physiotherapy. The book is
divided into five parts containing multiple sections and chapters.
The first part of the book looks at advances in the sciences
underpinning musculoskeletal physiotherapy practice. Here there is
commentary on topics such as movement, the interaction between pain
and motor control as well as neuromuscular adaptations to exercise.
Applied anatomical structure is covered in addition to the
challenges of lifestyle and ageing. A new section highlights the
important area of measurement and presents the scope of current and
emerging measurements for investigating central and peripheral
aspects relating to pain, function and morphological change.
Another section discusses some contemporary research approaches
such as quantitative and qualitative methods as well as
translational research. Part III contains sections on the
principles of and broader aspects of management which are
applicable to musculoskeletal disorders of both the spine and
periphery. Topics include models for management prescription,
communication and pain management and contemporary principles of
management for the articular, nervous and sensorimotor systems. In
recognition of the patient centred and inclusive nature of
contemporary musculoskeletal practice, there is also discussion
about how physiotherapists may use cognitive behavioural therapies
when treating people with chronic musculoskeletal disorders. The
final part of the book focuses on selected contemporary issues in
clinical practice for a particular region, condition or the most
topical approaches to the diagnosis and management of a region. A
critical review of the evidence (or developing evidence) for
approaches is given and areas for future work are highlighted. The
only textbook which covers the breadth of musculoskeletal
physiotherapy practice, bringing together the work and opinions of
leading international experts Presents the latest science, research
evidence and clinical practices for assessment and management of
spinal and extremity disorders Uses contemporary knowledge in
diagnostics and future directions to demonstrate how to manage both
acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain Considers important aspects
underpinning clinical practice across the biopsychosocial domains
Now covers the musculoskeletal systems of the upper and lower limbs
as well as the spine Title, topics, prominent editors and authors -

Designed to help students better understand how science works and
how it impacts their daily lives, What's Up with Astronomy?
provides readers with an illuminating discussion of how astronomy
became a science, the lived experiences and contributions of key
astronomers throughout time, and how modern scientific theories are
questioned and checked. The opening chapter illustrates how Earth's
rotation gives us the day, Earth's orbit gives us the year, Earth's
tilt gives us the seasons, and the moon's orbit gives us the
month-immediately showing students how astronomy influences our
everyday lives. Additional chapters cover early discoveries
regarding planets, the composition of light, using telescopes, what
stars are made of and how they move, what we know about the sun,
and the power of stars. Students learn about the life cycles of
stars, neutron stars, black holes, the Milky Way, galaxies,
cosmology, and planet formation. The final chapter focuses on our
search for other signs of life in the universe. Concise,
easy-to-read, and highly engaging, What's Up with Astronomy? is
designed to help students develop their innate scientific curiosity
and engage in scientific inquiry. It is an exemplary textbook for
non-science majors and introductory courses in astronomy.
