 الوصف:

Respiratory care is an immensely satisfying branch of physiotherapy. It challenges our
intellect, exploits our handling skills and employs our humanity to the full. Respiratory
physiotherapy is both art and science. It is not an exact science, and effective treatment
therefore depends on problem-solving. Analytic problem-solving requires the ability to define
a problem and the knowledge to address it. Creative problem-solving requires a clear
perspective of the individual patient’s need. These are the aims of this book. Clinicians now
expect explanations that are referenced and physiologically sound, meticulous attention to
detail of technique and a patient-centred approach. This book is written for such readers and
those who question and traditional rituals. fundamental assumptions Evaluation of practice is
emphasized so that we are equipped to justify our protocol to ourselves and others. Carefully
reasoned explanations and updated physiotherapy techniques are covered in precise detail.
There is integration of theory and practice and emphasis on the hands-on aspect of
physiotherapy. The glossary serves as a quick reference guide and an explanation of
abbreviations, which are usually defined once only in the text. It has been greatly extended
for the second edition and can be read in its own right as an extra physiology chapter. The
text is enthusiastically written, highly readable and enlivened by quotations from patients
whose experiences are a central theme throughout
