Product Description This second edition of the highly successful "Low Back Disorders" provides readers with the latest research information on low back involvement and shows readers how to interpret the data for clinical applications. There is new information on dealing with overly 'stiff' spines. Special provocation tests are described for better patient assessments and readers are shown how to improve the development of appropriate patient activities for functional gain. The reader is exposed to exercises and activities that will give patients a solid foundation of physical work in preparation for more advanced activities in sports and occupations. It features 354 photos and 122 illustrations, including graphs, charts and photos supporting original research. The handouts will enable the practitioner to create individualised instruction sheets tailored to each client's current needs and rate of progress, enhancing correct form and more effective rehabilitation. It includes highly scrutinised research and clinical information directly from the internationally recognised spine research laboratory of Stuart McGill.

About the Author Stuart McGill, PhD, is a professor at the University of Waterloo at Waterloo, Ontario, and a world-renowned lecturer and expert in spine function and injury prevention and rehabilitation He has written more than 200 scientific publications that address lumbar function, low back injury mechanisms, investigation of tissue loading during rehabilitation programs, and the formulation of work-related injury avoidance strategies. Dr. McGill has been an invited lecturer at many universities and delivered more than 200 addresses to societies around the world. He is one of the few scientists who consults and to whom patients are regularly referred.

The thoroughly revised edition of this classic text describes the art of manipulative physiotherapy as delineated by G.D. Maitland - a unique approach based on procedures for thorough assessment and reassessment of patients. The 6th edition has been extensively revised, presenting an integrated contemporary and evidence-based model of manipulative physiotherapy. Updated and expanded coverage throughout reflects advances in knowledge and the role of manipulative physiotherapy within contemporary clinical practice. New highlights include an improved layout, new photographs, and an accompanying CD-ROM that includes video clips of all relevant examination and treatment techniques.

by G. Lorimer Moseley

This much anticipated collection of stories, written by Oxford University Fellow and Pain Scientist, Dr GL Moseley, provides an entertaining and informative way to understand modern pain biology. Described by critics as 'a gem' and by clinicians as 'entertaining and educative', painful yarns is a unique book. The stories, some of his travels in outback Australia, some of experiences growing up, are great yarns. At the end of each story, there is a section "so what has this got to do with pain?" in which Moseley uses the story as a metaphor for some aspect of pain biology. The level of the pain education is appropriate for patients and health professionals. The entertainment is good for everyone. You don't have to be interested in pain to get a good laugh out of this book!

by Michael Shacklock

Shacklock's book is a wonderful gift as well as a triumph of clinical reasoning and careful research.

Examination of the nervous system typically does not extend beyond a search for neurologic signs and the most rudimentary mobility tests of major portions of that organ. Given what we've learned during the course of the neurobiologic revolution, this seems wholly inadequate. Shacklock describes specific testing of virtually every portion of the peripheral nervous system and reasonably asserts that this approach is necessary to complete the diagnostic picture of our patients with painful problems that display no relevant evidence of pathology. That is, something that requires healing or repair. My own students assure me that these patients comprise the majority of those with a primary complaint of pain. To me, this knowledge fills a hole in therapy through which countless patients have fallen.

The author fills this book instead with a wonderful exposition of the deep model of neurobiology as it is currently understood and relevant to the clinician seeing patients in pain. He then tackles the nuts and bolts of testing and treatment, liberally providing all he can about the intricate nature of nervous biomechanics, paying careful attention to what is known of the bodily interface and the nature of its sensitivity. Every possible test is carefully illustrated and many pages are peppered with this master clinician's personal experience. For the sural nerve alone there are three pages devoted to its place in symptomotology, the intricate nature of its testing and specific thoughts about its treatment along with three clear and concise photographs. What more could a clinician seeking direction ask for? Oh yes, a CD-ROM provided with the book further illustrates his approach to the median, posterior tibial and ulnar nerves as well as the brachial plexus at the thoracic outlet. This is a wonderful addition to the text.

Book Description

A groundbreaking approach to neural mobilization, this one-of-a-kind resource draws on the established Maitland movement diagram to present a completely new system for mobilization of the neural and musculoskeletal systems. The text guides readers through the complex subject of neurodynamics and the basic mechanisms in movement of the nervous system, systematically linking causal mechanisms to diagnosis and treatment of pain and common musculoskeletal problems. This new progressional method is ideal for diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders with neural involvement such as spinal and peripheral (extremity) disorders, the nerve root, dura and peripheral nerve.

The need for a comprehensive resource with easy-to-find information has increased with the addition of nine new syndromes. Tunnel Syndromes: Peripheral Nerve Compression Syndromes provides a quick overview of tunnel syndromes including the definition, anatomy, etiology, clinical signs and symptoms, and treatment. It presents a total of 50 tunnel syndromes. Following the tradition of the first two editions, this resource continues to probe the origins of tunnel syndromes and to propose probable causes that lead to them. All existing chapters have been updated and new chapters have been added including:

• Spinal accessory nerve syndrome
• Intercostobrachial nerve syndrome
• Notalgia paresthetica
• Medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve syndrome
• Distal posterior interosseous nerve syndrome
• Medial superior cluneal nerve syndrome
• Pudendus nerve syndrome
• Lateral plantar nerve syndrome
• Medial plantar nerve syndrome New in this Edition:
• New syndromes of clinical importance
• Improved illustrations, including new magnetic resonance images
• Twenty-seven new drawings (graphic designs) and twenty new photos
• Updated references with a total of more than 1,650 citations.

This practical book offers an extensive examination of how manual therapy (MT) techniques work, and how to match the most suitable techniques to different conditions. Drawing on evidence-based research, it explores the physiological, neurological and psychophysiological responses of the human body to MT techniques. In doing so, it helps MT practitioners deliver a more effective and safer treatment for a broader range of conditions.
