Functional Exercise Anatomy And Physiology For Physiotherapists

This book aims to create a bedside resource for physiotherapists and exercise specialists dealing with a defined movement problem and plan and apply functional therapeutic exercises that can be diversified for the patient. For physiotherapists, exercise is undoubtedly the greatest weapon in treating diseases and improving health. Functional exercise approaches aim to improve physical performance and activities of daily life by adapting exercise prescriptions to the movements that the individual makes frequently in daily life or in sports. The daily activities vary from person to person due to our different habits and lifestyles. Therefore, functional exercise training should be designed differently for everyone. When designing a functional exercise prescription, physiotherapists should consider previous injuries or surgeries that may limit physical activity, as well as general health, muscular strength, endurance and strength, aerobic capacity, and activities that the patient should do in daily life. The functional exercise prescription should be customized considering both the fragility of the patient due to injury or surgery, and the strengths of the patient such as sports/exercise history and healthy eating habits. The book consists of four different parts: the concepts of exercise and physical activity, exercise types, and prescriptions are presented in the first part. The second part is dedicated to musculoskeletal anatomy specific to functional exercise, while the third part explores functional exercise-specific systems physiology and illustrates the compliance of each system with exercise, basic exercise physiology information, and the evaluation and treatment of individuals who are healthy and have diseases that affect each system. Finally, the book has the part of a special topic dealing with nutrition/nutritional supplements affecting recovery in the rehabilitation process after injury or surgery and supporting physical performance during exercise/sports. This book will be of interest to physiotherapists as well as health and sports professionals.

Functional Anatomy for Physical Therapists This is a good reference for anyone looking to delve deeper into the study of anatomy and human movement. The author has taught anatomy for more than 25 years, and the book reflects the author's vast experience. -- Doody's Book Review (starred review) Effective examination and treatment in physical therapy rely on a solid understanding of the dynamics of the joints and the functions of the surrounding muscles. This concise instructional manual helps readers to not only memorize anatomy but also to truly comprehend the structures and functions of the whole body: the intervertebral disk, the cervical spine, the cranium, the thoracic spine, the thorax, the upper extremities, lumbar spine, pelvis and hip joint, and the lower extremities. Through precise descriptions, efficiently organized chapters, and beautiful illustrations, this book relates functional anatomy to therapy practice. It provides extensive coverage of the palpation of structures and references to pathology throughout. Highlights: Accurate and detailed descriptions of each joint structure in the body, including their vessels and nerves, and their function Comprehensive guidance on the palpation of individual structures Detailed discussions on the functional aspects of muscles and joint surfaces, and the formation of joints Concise tips and references to pathology to assist with everyday practice More than 1000 illustrations clearly depicting anatomy and the interconnections between structures Physical therapists will find Functional Anatomy for Physical Therapists invaluable to their study or practice. It makes functional anatomy easier for students to learn and is ideal for use in exam preparation. Experienced therapists will benefit from practical tips and guidance for applying and refining their techniques.

Functional Anatomy for Sport and Exercise: A Quick A-to-Z Reference is the most user-friendly and accessible available reference to human musculoskeletal anatomy in its moving, active context. Fully updated and revised, the second edition features more illustrations to enhance student learning and an expanded hot topics section to highlight key areas of research in sport and exercise. An accessible format makes it easy for students to locate clear, concise explanations and descriptions of anatomical structures, human movement terms and key concepts. Covering all major anatomical areas, the book includes: an A-to-Z guide to anatomical terms and concepts, from the head to the foot clear and detailed colour illustrations cross-referenced entries throughout hot topics discussed in more detail in sports examples discussed in more detail full references and suggested further reading This book is an essential quick reference for undergraduate students in applied anatomy, functional anatomy, kinesiology, sport and exercise science, physical education, strength and conditioning, biomechanics and athletic training.

This book is for therapists involved in exercise therapy for the prevention and treatment of disease. It covers exercise assessment, current prescription guidelines, precautions, exercise design and clinical case studies. The book also includes exercises to increase strength, power, local muscle endurance, range of movement and aerobic capacity and will be relevant to all areas of therapy practice. In addition to the general guidelines, considerations for exercise groups and exercise at home as well as exercise in special patient populations are addressed. This allows therapists who are expert in one area to become familiar with exercise prescription in another. The book underpins therapeutic exercise in general and also addresses specific considerations for particular clinical situations within current guidelines and practical considerations. Underpinning exercise physiology Physical principles of exercise design Guidelines for exercise training Clinical exercise prescription Limitations to exercise in common conditions Example case studies

Since its first publication in 1989, Anatomy and Human Movement has become the seminal textbook for physiotherapy and occupational therapy students in both the UK and internationally. This eighth edition has been fully updated by Professor Emeritus Roger Soames to incorporate the latest evidence and practice. It provides a clear and detailed account of musculoskeletal structure and function, with self-contained modules, multiple choice questions, illustrations and electronic ancillaries to support both learning and teaching. The book will be invaluable for anyone needing to learn and remember how movement takes place, including students of sport and exercise sciences, orthopaedic health, chiropody and podiatry, chiropractic and osteopathy, and complementary medicine. It is also suitable for practising clinicians wishing to refresh their knowledge of functional anatomy. Self-contained modules help users study at their own pace and time Easy to navigate - key concepts, summary boxes and overview make it easy to retain information Learning objectives for each subsection to provide a framework for the student Self-assessment questions to support learning Full-colour illustrations represent anatomy in 3D Electronic ancillaries for flexible learning outside the classroom - a supplementary e-learning course and varied validation resources, such as outcome measures, animations, videos, quizzes, activity analyses and MCQ tests Fully revised and updated New self-test MCQs

The role of practicals in the field of physiotherapy is very important. The base of physiotherapy is Anatomy and Physiology, and progressively students also need a good knowledge of Exercise Therapy, Electrotherapy, and Biomechanics. So we have planned this book “An Illustrative Practical Book for Physiotherapy Students”. This book is very fruitful for physiotherapy students in regular practice. In this book, we provide the space for diagrams and pictures for the best explanations by the students. In this book including Anatomy, Physiology, Exercise Therapy, Electrotherapy, Biomechanics and standard patient assessment chart for final year students, which is divided separately in Orthopedics, Neurology, Cardio-respiratory, and Sports conditions. This is very useful for taking an assessment of patients and makes the case study and provisional diagnosis in the field of physiotherapy. A special attraction of this book is that all the relevant material is in one book. The content of this book is very useful for any university or physiotherapy college student.
