Our people are the best in the world at what they do. They've proven themselves time and time again and have published books to teach the masses. Below are a few of what has been published from our thought leaders in the field of PM&R.
Sex Differences in Sports Medicine
Body
by: Ellen Casey, Monica Rho, and Joel Press
This is the first book dedicated to the musculoskeletal, physiological, hormonal, and other differences between the sexes as they manifest in sports medicine. Organized anatomically from head to toe, this unique reference focuses on the sex-specific differences of men and women to inform clinical care and the management of common sports injuries. Other chapters cover nutrition, hormones, concussion, pain, sports cardiology and pulmonology, and the particular care of adolescent and geriatric patients. The editors have assembled a world-class team of specialists to collaborate on each chapter, and specially commissioned illustrations and tables help visualize the data and findings.
Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation
Body
by: Richard Harvey MD, Joel Stein MD, Carolee Winstein Phd PT, George Wittenberg MD PhD, and Richard Zorowitz MD
The definitive core text in its field, Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation is a comprehensive reference covering all aspects of stroke rehabilitation from neurophysiology of stroke through the latest treatments and interventions for functional recovery and restoration of mobility. This second edition is completely updated to reflect recent advances in scientific understanding of neural recovery and growing evidence for new clinical therapies.
New to Stroke Recovery and Rehabilitation, Second Edition
- All chapters are thoroughly revised and updated to reflect advances in scientific understanding of neural recovery and clinical progress
- Five completely new chapters and expanded coverage of key issues that drive the field forward
- New contributions from leading stroke specialists from all involved disciplines
- Includes access to the fully-searchable downloadable ebook
Targeted Muscle Reinnervation: A Neural Interface for Artificial Limbs
Body
by: Todd A. Kuiken, Aimee E. Schultz Feuser, and Ann K. Barlow
Features
- Provides a practical guide to implementing TMR for all members of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation team
- Discusses how TMR can improve the function and quality of life for individuals with amputations
- Explores the potential for providing sensory feedback to amputees
- Examines the surgical and functional outcomes of actual TMR patients
- Offers training videos of TMR surgical and rehabilitation procedures as well as information about new research developments on a complementary website
Summary
Implement TMR with Your Patients and Improve Their Quality of Life
Developed by Dr. Todd A. Kuiken and Dr. Gregory A. Dumanian, targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is a new approach to accessing motor control signals from peripheral nerves after amputation and providing sensory feedback to prosthesis users. This practical approach has many advantages over other neural-machine interfaces for the improved control of artificial limbs. Targeted Muscle Reinnervation: A Neural Interface for Artificial Limbs provides a template for the clinical implementation of TMR and a resource for further research in this new area of science.
After describing the basic scientific concepts and key principles underlying TMR, the book presents surgical approaches to transhumeral and shoulder disarticulation amputations. It explores the possible role of TMR in the prevention and treatment of end-neuromas and details the principles of rehabilitation, prosthetic fitting, and occupational therapy for TMR patients. The book also describes transfer sensation and discusses the surgical and functional outcomes of the first several TMR patients. It concludes with emerging research on using TMR to further improve the function and quality of life for people with limb loss.
With contributions from renowned leaders in the field, including Drs. Kuiken and Dumanian, this book is a useful guide to implementing TMR in patients with high-level upper limb amputations. It also supplies the foundation to enable improvements in TMR techniques and advances in prosthetic technology.
