Mechanical Shoulder Disorders: Perspectives in Functional Anatomy

Description

This new clinical reference provides a thorough discussion of the shoulder from the normal and abnormal perspective with an emphasis on the anatomical and mechanical foundations of shoulder disorders. Throughout the text, the authors show how an understanding of tissue injury, the healing process, and the role of the neuromuscular system of the trunk and shoulder complex are the keys to successful treatment. Readers will learn about the shoulder girdle complex within the context of its relationship to the surrounding body area, including the neck and arm as well as the trunk and lower extremities. An accompanying DVD with interactive motion menus includes 120 minutes of video that display clinical dissection of the shoulder.

• The text includes over 100 detailed anatomical illustrations that augment the text descriptions of the anatomy, clarify concepts, and aid visual learners.
• 60 cadaver photos, placed alongside the anatomical illustrations, help the reader visualize musculature and anatomical structures.
• Assessment models and photographs for the shoulder girdle complex provide step-by-step procedures to help perform a patient assessment.
• More than 50 illustrated exercises that may be used in patient treatment are designed to improve the strength, power, and endurance of the global and local muscles associated with the shoulder girdle.

  人類這個不良品: 從沒用的骨頭到脆弱的基因

  By 納森．蘭特Nathan H. Lents

  讚嘆人體多奇妙的書有上萬種，告訴你如何從人體缺陷找到樂趣的，只有這一本！「看哪，人體多麼神奇、多麼偉大！」 才怪！人體其實處處可見很瞎的設計。裝反的視網膜、多餘的尾巴殘存結構、很容易把自己噎死的狹窄喉嚨，以及骨頭過多的手腕、腳踝……放眼動物界，人類還有很多「獨享尊榮」。像是椎間盤突出、停經期。有些動物一輩子吃草也活得好好的，我們卻得要靠複雜的飲食才能存活。有些動物可以邊吃飯邊生小孩，分娩卻是人類女性及胎兒的生死關頭……擺脫了叢林猛獸，現代人類應該沒有天敵了吧？很不幸，魔鬼就在自己身體裡。我們有神經兮兮，見到黑影就開槍的免疫系統；有碩大，但把自己騙的團團轉的腦袋瓜；還有虎視眈眈的癌症，只要你活得夠久，它總會找上你……人體很神奇，但確實不完美。而這些有趣的缺陷，造就了我們的獨一無二，也是帶著你我透視演化史的最佳視窗。
