By Gregory P. Grieve, Editorial Paidotribo
La palpación de la columna vertebral y de las estructuras que rodean a las extremidades es una parte vital del examen de los problemas de las articulaciones de la columna vertebral; por lo tanto, hay que estar familiarizado con lo que subyace debajo del terreno superficial tanto de los aspectos dorsales como ventrales.

Este libro, indicado para estudiantes y fisioterapeutas diplomados, está basado en el estudio de los historiales clínicos y en las revisiones médicas completas antes y durante el tratamiento, siendo una guía esencial para la práctica de las técnicas de manipulación y movilización.

Su contenido se centra en: Anatomía de la columna, Movimiento vertebral, Inervación segmental, Nervios autónomos en los síndromes del dolor vertebral, Dolor proyectado, Aspectos psicológicos del dolor y de las disfunciones vertebrales, Introducción al examen, Examen regional, Registro de exámenes, Valoración del examen, Principios de tratamiento, Movimiento pasivo, Método cíclico, Movimientos asistidos, Movimientos activos, Qué es la manipulación, Diagnóstico, Indicaciones y Contradicciones. El texto se complementa con numerosos gráficos y fotografías.

La natación terapéutica, desde una perspectiva global, es entendida como aquellos programas de salud que se dirigen, por un lado, a la compensación de las desviaciones de la columna vertebral, es decir, escoliosis, heperlordosis e hipercifosis, y por otro lado, a la compensación de enfermedades y lesiones que pueden aparecer en la etapa adulta, utilizando para ello desplazamientos acuáticos descritos en el marco de la natación educativa.

La natación terapéutica, por lo tanto, es un programa que utiliza las actividades acuáticas educativas con una finalidad de trabajo puramente higiénico-preventivo, aprovechando las propiedades físicas que el medio acuático presenta. Este programa, inicialmente, se sustenta en el principio de Arquímedes, según el cual todo cuerpo sumergido en un fluido experimenta un empuje hacia arriba igual al peso del fluido que desaloja. En consecuencia, todo cuerpo sumergido ejerce una presión sobre la superficie acuática, que es igual al peso de la columna de líquido situada debajo de este cuerpo.

El libro es una recopilación teórico-práctica de las experiencias de los autores, en la intervención ante desviaciones del raquis y enfermedades y lesiones orgánicas. La obra presenta nociones básicas sobre las enfermedades y desviaciones más frecuentes de la columna vertebral, aportando la metodología y los modelos ejemplificados que dan mayor rigurosidad a la sesión acuática correctiva.

Sus contenidos, su metodología de trabajo y su filosofía están en la línea de servir como guía, planteando estructuras en las que sea necesaria la interpretación, el análisis y la decisión de actuación de las personas que lo utilicen. En ningún caso se plantea su riguroso seguimiento como la solución a los problemas que aparecen en el tratamiento acuático de las actitudes posturales en niños y adolescentes.

Debe ser el profesional que lo utilice quien decida qué línea es conveniente seguir adelante ante las diversas situaciones presentadas.

This valuable, comprehensive professional reference puts all the tests needed for diagnosing musculoskeletal dysfunctions at the clinician's fingertips.

As physical therapists become more responsible for establishing a physical therapy diagnosis and monitoring a patient's progress during treatment, ready access to definitive tests becomes more critical. Direct access to physical therapy services and a broader physical-therapy patient population have enhanced the need for the clinician to have a foundation of testing skills. This professional resource addresses the need to have a comprehensive reference for the busy clinician to have on his or her desk.

This book is compiled for physical and occupational therapy students and practitioners who deal with musculoskeletal dysfunctions. It also will be a valuable reference for medical students and general medical practitioners.

The book contains eleven sections that deal with the extremity joints, the temporomandibular joint, the spine, and the sacroiliac joint. Each section contains the clinical tests of the specific area. Each test is first described, interpreted, and then followed by an illustration to add clarity to the performance of the test. Two full indexes add to this manual's ease of use.

Dr. Prem Gogia has given a concise description of every test's performance and interpretation, while illustrations demonstrate their administration.

This is my personal story of my bilateral total knee replacement. I wrote this book for two reasons. The first reason is to inform people about what they can expect from bilateral knee replacement surgery as opposed to surgery on one knee at a time. But more importantly, the second reason for this book is to provide as much information as possible to anyone contemplating this type of surgery before they go forward with it.

The anxieties you have before major surgery are so different than the ones you have after surgery. Often, people think that once the surgery is over, the worries and pain are over. Instead, it can be the beginning of a different set of worries and pain. But, if you know in advance what to expect, you can plan accordingly and will have a much easier time after your operation.

There are many books out there with regard to one total knee replacement, but very little about a bilateral-meaning two-knee replacement. I want to tell you all the facts that could occur, and in my case, did occur, before a very large decision such as this one is made.
