KNYGA Craig R Denegar Therapeutic Interventions for Musculoskeletal Conditions

A patient-focused text on interventions for musculoskeletal conditions.With a modern approach that reaches beyond application of isolated modalities to manage injuries, Therapeutic Interventions for Musculoskeletal Conditions presents a multimodal perspective on treatment that considers all aspects of the patient's experience. This contemporary, patient-centered approach to therapeutic interventions closely resembles clinical practice and offers insights on how and why physical agents, manual therapies, and therapeutic exercises should be applied for an optimal plan of care.To provide a comprehensive understanding of treatment options and implications, the book features full-color medical illustrations that show joint mechanoreceptors, neurophysiological processes, and physiological responses to interventions. Students can also refer to 27 related online videos delivered through HKPropel that demonstrate how to apply evidence-based therapeutic interventions for musculoskeletal conditions, including the use of physical agents, manual therapy, and neuromuscular reeducation.Therapeutic Interventions for Musculoskeletal Conditions features a case study that builds upon itself in each part, taking the student from the beginning of a plan of care at the initial evaluation of an injury and through the various steps and progressions of treatment. This unique approach helps the student see how interventions can be implemented, progressed upon, and used in conjunction with each other.Split into five parts, each section of Therapeutic Interventions for Musculoskeletal Conditions walks students through a phase of patient recovery: Part I covers the initial evaluation and creation of a plan of care. Part II discusses the neurophysiology behind pain transmission, signal modulation, tissue injury, inflammation, and pain science. Part III focuses on understanding limitations in range of motion and discusses various therapeutic modalities and manual interventions used to restore motion. Part IV highlights the importance of neuromuscular control in the healing process and ways to facilitate recovery. Part V explores the role of mechanical signaling and exercise in tissue recovery. Students and professionals alike will develop stronger decision-making skills when determining the safest and most effective use of different treatment methods with Therapeutic Interventions for Musculoskeletal Conditions.Note: A code for accessing online videos via HKPropel is included with all new print books.
