Product Description:

Using a combined morpho-functional approach the author recently found that polyinnervation of the neuro-muscular juction (NMJ) is the critical factor for recovery of function after transection and suture of the facial nerve. Since polyinnervation is activity-dependent and can be manipulated, he tried to design a clinically feasible therapy by electrical stimulation or by soft tissue massage. First, electrical stimulation was applied to the transected facial nerve or to paralysed facial muscles. Both procedures did not improve vibrissal motor performance (video-based motion analysis of whisking), failed to diminish polyinnervation and even reduced the number of innervated NMJ to one fifth of normal values. In contrast, gentle stroking of the paralysed vibrissal muscles by hand resulted in full recovery of whisking. Manual stimulation was also effective after hypoglossal-facial anastomosis and after interpositional nerve grafting. The author concludes that manual stimulation is a non-invasive procedure with immediate potential for clinical rehabilitation following facial nerve reconstruction.

A propósito de querer ser de primera consulta

Volviendo ya de mis vacaciones, y volcándome de lleno a lo que es la búsqueda de trabajo, aún así seguiré actualizando esta página.

A propósito de ser profesionales de primera consulta, uno de los principios básicos para ejecutar esta tarea es saber discriminar cuando un paciente es de nuestras competencias o no; es decir, cuando un dolor lumbar es de origen mecánico y no infeccioso, renal, menstrual, etc.. por ello les subo este libro que anduve buscando por bastante tiempo y unos amigos de USA lo escanearon al fin.

Evidence Based Review of Stroke Rehabilitation: Painful Hemiplegic Shoulder

Shoulder pain resulting from hemiplegia is a common clinical consequence of a focal cerebral insult resulting from a vascular lesion (ie. hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke). Spasticity and hemiplegic shoulder pain are related. Further research is needed before conclusions regarding positioning of the hemiplegic shoulder can be made. There is limited evidence that shoulder slings influence clinical outcomes.

Diagnostico y Tratamiento de Las Alteraciones del Movimiento

Con este aporte me consagro!!!!! el que sabe, sabe....

Esta obra describe, por una parte, los cambios provocados por las actividades diarias en los patrones de movimiento y, por otra, las exploraciones básicas y las medidas fisioterapéuticas que se pueden usar para crear un sistema de clasificación basado en los sà ndromes de alteración del movimiento. Se proponen tres modelos de sistemas de movimiento cinesiológico, patocinesiológico y cinesipatológico y sus diferentes relaciones con las alteraciones del movimiento para luego explicar y describir el desarrollo y caracterà sticas de las mismas. A continuación, se estudian los sà ndromes de alteración del movimiento de la región lumbar, de la cadera, del hombro y del tren inferior siguiendo un patrón de descripción del dolor y los sà ntomas relevantes, asà como de las alteraciones de la alineación, patrones de reclutamiento, laxitud y rigidez relativa y de la longitud y fuerza musculares. El lector encontrará que cada sà ndrome se ilustra con la presentación de un caso y que se desarrollan las exploraciones de confirmación, la descripción y el programa terapéutico. Asimismo, se presenta un programa de ejercicios que sustenta las correcciones de la mecánica corporal y la ejecución de las actividades diarias; al tiempo que se ajusta a la exploración lo que permite que mientras el terapeuta lleva a cabo la exploración pueda ir decidiendo los ejercicios concretos que incluirá en el programa de ejercicios del paciente.

The latest edition contains new and revised information including MWMs for the shoulder girldle. When applied correctly, they can significantly reduce joint pain and increase spinal rotation.

The techniques are also effective treatments for patients with pain or stiffness of Cx 5/6 and Cx 6/7 origin. Illustrated

From the Author
"Spectacular results are often obtained using 'MWMs' and when using these techniques on my patients. I expect at least one 'miracle' a day." - Brian Mulligan, FNZSP, Dip MT

Orthopaedic Clinical Examination: An Evidence Based Approach for Physical Therapists

Saludos!

Como estoy en el internado, tengo poco tiempo para ocuparme de este blog, sin embargo para saldar mi deuda les traigo un libro espectacular...

Orthopaedic Clinical Examination: An Evidence Based Approach for Physical Therapists

Evidence-based practice is becoming an increasingly important topic in physical therapy clinical practice, especially as the cost of health care continues to accelerate. As a result, evidence is now being incorporated into all aspects of physical therapy patient/client management including examination, evaluation, diagnosis, prognosis, and intervention. Designed as a handy, quick-reference guide, ORTHOPAEDIC CLINICAL EXAMINATION: AN EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH FOR PHYSICAL THERAPISTS takes a uniquely visual, evidence-tables approach to make it easy for clinicians to locate relevant evidence of the diagnostic utility of commonly utilized tests and measures.
Features 281 evidence-tables with essential information clinicians need to make appropriate decisions on clinical tests for their patients.
Provides information specific to the diagnostic accuracy of specific tests ... measures that have been investigated in controlled studies ... and each test's sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios. In addition, each table offers an easy-to-follow guide to the performance and scoring of every test and measure.
Offers information on the patient population and reference standard that was utilized in the corresponding study, with an overview of the study results and their applicability to the clinician's environment.
Includes 169 Netter and Netter-style images and 173 photographs assure that clinicians have an understanding of the relative anatomy, arthrology, myology, and neurology behind the examination process
