Physical Therapy for Genetic Disorders (Владимир Владимирович Малецкий)

Описание книги:

A genetic diagnosis names the cause. It does not name the limits. Physical Therapy for Genetic Disorders is a 36-chapter clinical textbook on physical therapy and medical rehabilitation for patients with hereditary disorders. It bridges the gap between genetic diagnosis and clinical rehabilitation practice, treating each condition as a clinical challenge that calls for an individualized strategy. Six parts cover hereditary muscle diseases, disorders of the nervous system, genetic syndromes, skeletal disorders, connective tissue and multisystem syndromes, and metabolic and lysosomal storage diseases. Every chapter follows the same ten sections, from genetics and clinical presentation to therapeutic exercise, orthoses, contraindications, and recommendations for families. For students of medical colleges and universities, physical therapists, rehabilitation physicians, neurologists, orthopedists, pediatricians, and medical geneticists.
