Functional Kinetics: Observing, Analyzing, and Teaching Human Movement
by Susanne Klein-VogelbachSusanne Klein-Vogelbach's acclaimed textbook describing her concept of functional kinetics!The well-known physiotherapist presents her theory concerning the systematic observation and analysis of human movement. The purpose of functional kinetics is to improve observation, analysis and instruction of human movement. The physiotherapist must be able to analyse movement in order to find and define the functional problem. She or he must be able to effect the required change in movement, whether through manipulation, instructing the patient how to move or both.The ideas outlined in this book are basic to physical therapy and rehabilitation and should be familiar to every active therapist.
Grenzbereiche der Sportmedizin
by Kurt BienerDer auf dem Gebiet der Sportmedizin und Sportwissenschaften weltweit als Autorität anerkannte Autor präsentiert mit diesem Buch eine Gesamtdarstellung von Randgebieten der Sportmedizin, denen bislang wenig Beachtung geschenkt wurde.

Die Möglichkeiten des Einsatzes von Sport zur Suchtprävention oder Suchttherapie werden ebenso diskutiert wie die Wechselwirkungen von Sport und Stress. Weitere Kapitel sind der oxy- metrischen Leistungsbeurteilung, den Grenzproblemen des Sports bei Diabetikern sowie den spezifischen Augen-, Ohren- und Genitalverletzungen im Sport oder auch der neuen Bedrohung durch die AIDS-Erkrankung gewidmet. Das Buch stellt somit eine Bereicherung der bisher erschienenen Fachliteratur dar und richtet sich an Sportärzte, Studenten, Sportlehrer, Trainer, Sportleiter, Verbandsfunktionäre, Heimbetreuer und interessierte Sportler selbst.
The Knee and the Cruciate Ligaments: Anatomy Biomechanics Clinical Aspects Reconstruction Complications Rehabilitation
by Prof. Dr. Pd Dr.This book summarizes the experience gained by the Orthopedic Study Group for the Knee (OAK) of the Swiss Orthopedic Society in dealing with knee problems relating to deficiencies of the cruciate ligaments. The editors, R.P. Jakob and H.-U.Staubli, have collaborated with international authorities to produce this ex cellent work dealing with a great many aspects of knee surgery and especially the problems of the cruciate ligaments. For clarity, the book begins with definitions and explanations of basic biomechan ical terms. The chapters on Anatomy and Biomechanics present up-to-date scien tific information based on anatomic and biomechanical principles as they are ap plied in modern knee surgery. The second part of the book focuses on the OAK-sanctioned approach to knee documentation and evaluation, which is a valuable supplement to other knee evaluation schemes. The European Society for Knee Surgery (ESKA) and the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) are currently at tempting to combine the advantages of the OAK system with an internationally valid evaluation scheme to create a standard evaluation and documentation sys tem that will be acceptable to all physicians.

The Management of Chronic Illness: Patient and Doctor Perspectives on Parkinson’s Disease
by Ruth PinderUncertainty is part of the human condition. But for patients with a chronic illness such as Parkinson's Disease and for the GPs who care for them, uncertainty and its management take on an added edge. Dr Pinder, in a series of moving portraits, shows how the differing anxieties of both parties may, if unacknowledged, lead them down different paths, with distressing consequences for patients. By contrast, a responsive GP may make living with P.D. more bearable. The author argues that an imaginative understanding of the illness experience may enable GPs to care more effectively for their chronically ill patients. The book presents a compelling case for looking afresh at patient-doctor interaction.

Riding Through The Storm: My Fight Back to Fitness on the Tour de France
by Geoff ThomasGeoff Thomas's heroic battle to overcome leukaemia, and then take on the toughest sporting challenge: to ride the Tour de FranceWhen Geoff Thomas struggled to play a friendly game of tennis while on holiday in Mallorca in May 2003, he thought little of it. Recently retired as a footballer, he believed it was a sign of ageing and perhaps a pulled muscle. But when the pain wouldn't go away, his wife Julie persuaded him to go to a doctor. He was diagnosed as having leukaemia.RIDING THROUGH THE STORM focuses on his journey round the Tour de France in the summer of 2005, riding the 2,240-mile course in the 21 days it takes Lance Armstrong and all the top cyclists, despite never having cycled much before. Despite the odds against him achieving it, he rode the course and raised nearly £200,000 for charity. As he rides, he looks back on his successful career as a footballer, and the bone-marrow transplant that saved his life. This is a powerful, moving and inspirational story of extraordinary achievement.

Thermoreception and Temperature Regulation
by H. A. Braun K. Brück G. HeldmaierAs indicated in the Preface, the contributions to this volume are based upon the papers presented at the symposium on Thermoreceptors and Temperature Regula tion held in July 1988 at the Institute of Physiology of the University of Marburg (Federal Republic of Germany) to celebrate and commemorate the life and achievements of HERBERT HENSEL, who directed that Institute from 1955 until his death in 1983, and whose most notable and significant contributions to thermo physiology were in the areas of the properties and characteristics of thermo sensors, mammalian thermoregulation more generally, and the psychophysiology of ther mal sensation. All the papers in this volume deal, to a greater or lesser extent, with these discernibly different but closely allied aspects of mammalian physiology. The editors have sought to achieve cohesion, flow, and balance both in the contributed articles and in their order of presentation, without either large gaps or redundancies in the coverage of the recent advances in the understanding of thermoreceptors and thermoregulation. At the same time we have sought to avoid such a degree of editorial control as to destroy the individuality of the contributions, and the judgements upon which they were based. We have also sought to look both backwards and forwards, and to include some legitimate extension of the con sideration of thermosensitivity and thermoregulation into such areas as climatic adaptation and fever. Hence the "greater or lesser" of the closeness of this series of papers to HERBERT HENSEL'S scientific interests.
True Blue: The Oxford Boat Race Mutiny
by Patrick Robinson Daniel TopolskiStrikingly reminiscent of Chariots of Fire, this classic bestseller tells the story of the sporting event which shook both Oxford University and its Boat Club to the very foundations during the harsh winter of 1986/7.A group of American students arrives at Oxford, hoping to put some steel into a Boat Race crew still reeling from their recent humiliating defeat at the hands of Cambridge. But disagreements over training methods soon bring to a head a bitter clash between the elected President of the Dark Blues and a fiery-tempered rower from California. Much more than the race is at stake in this clash between the amateur sporting tradition of the Boat Race and New World big-star sportsmanship. In the resulting battle, which made headline news worldwide, the rebels, having failed to remove the Boat Club President, pull out six weeks before the race. Can Oxford Coach Topolski, against all odds, mould an inexperienced and demoralized reserve crew of no-hopers into a winning team?

Women's Leisure, What Leisure?: A Feminist Analysis (Women in Society)
by Eileen Green Diana Woodward Sandra HebronUntil recently the Sociology of Leisure was dominated by theoretical approaches which made women's experiences invisible. Drawing upon feminist perspectives this book re-conceptualises leisure in order to provide a more informed understanding of women's leisure. The authors argue that such an examination necessarily involves a study of women's daily lives which views leisure in relation to the structure of their lives as a whole. Drawing upon a major study of Sheffield women's leisure and other sources, the processes of negotiation and social control are cited as crucial in determing women's access to free time and the resources required to enjoy leisure.
Sports and Freedom: The Rise of Big-Time College Athletics (Sports and History)
by Ronald A. SmithPerhaps more than any other two colleges, Harvard and Yale gave form to American intercollegiate athletics--a form that was inspired by the Oxford-Cambridge rivalry overseas, and that was imitated by colleges and universities throughout the United States. Focusing on the influence of these prestigious eastern institutions, this fascinating study traces the origins and development of intercollegiate athletics in America from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. Smith begins with an historical overview of intercollegiate athletics and details the evolution of individual sports--crew, baseball, track and field, and especially football. Then, skillfully setting various sports events in their broader social and cultural contexts, Smith goes on to discuss many important issues that are still relevant today: student-faculty competition for institutional athletic control; the impact of the professional coach on big-time athletics; the false concept of amateurism in college athletics; and controversies over eligibility rules. He also reveals how the debates over brutality and ethics created the need for a central organizing body, the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which still runs college sports today. Sprinkled throughout with spicy sports anecdotes, from the Thanksgiving Day Princeton-Yale football game that drew record crowds in the 1890s to a meeting with President Theodore Roosevelt on football violence, this lively, in-depth investigation will appeal to serious sports buffs as well as to anyone interested in American social and cultural history.
Advances in Ergometry
by Norbert Bachl T. E. Graham H. LöllgenExercise testing is widely used all over the world to assess functional capacity in athletes, healthy subjects and patients. According to recent surveys, the interest in ergometry is still growing in almost all fields of medicine, especially in private practice. Furthermore, there has been an exponential growth in the number of publications on exercise testing in the last years. Several consensus and task force conferences have dealt with exercise testing and published recommendations on standardization and guidelines in ergometry. These factors have, in combination, initiated an upsurge in research and clinical use of exercise testing. At the 6th International Seminar on Ergometry the latest findings and advances in ergometry were discussed. Reviews and results of the congress covering a wide range of features in exercise testing are presented in this book. The editors hope that this book will make a substantial contribution to our knowledge regarding exercise testing and will help physicians to appropriately evaluate exercise testing in healthy and diseased subjects. The editors are indepted to Miss I. Baumgartner and Mr. W. Reith for their effort in typing and preparing the manuscripts. The editors are greatful to Springer-Verlag for the close cooperation and for their expertise in publishing the present volume. N. Bachl T. Graham H. Lallgen Contents W.

Arthroskopie der Schulter: Diagnostik und Therapie
by Herbert Resch Emil BeckDas Buch befaßt sich mit der Arthroskopie des Schultergelenkes und des Subacromialraumes. Sowohl die Diagnostik als auch die derzeitigen Therapiemöglichkeiten werden in einer sehr detaillierten Weise beschrieben. Das Buch beginnt mit der Beschreibung der Anatomie des Schultergelenkes aus arthroskopischer Sicht. Im diagnostischen Teil werden die einzelnen Strukturen sowohl im Glenohumeralgelenksbereich als auch im Subacromialbereich hinsichtlich einer pathologischen Veränderung besprochen und vor allem die Grenzziehung zwischen gesund und pathologisch herausgearbeitet. Der therapeutische Teil beschreibt detailliert die im eigenen Krankenhaus erfolgreich eingesetzten Limbusrefixationsmethoden, die sowohl eine Nahttechnik als auch eine Verschraubungstechnik umfassen, und die Durchführung der arthroskopischen subacromialen Dekompression. Letztere unterscheidet sich sehr wesentlich von den bisher beschriebenen Techniken, da nicht eine rotierende Fräse, sondern eine oszillierende Feile zur Knochenresektion verwendet wird. Das Buch vermittelt, beginnend bei der Indikationsstellung zur Arthroskopie bzw. arthroskopischen Therapie, über Lagerung, Abdeckung, notwendige Instrumente bis hin zur technischen Durchführung der Arthroskopie selbst, alle notwendigen Einzelheiten, die für die Schulterarthroskopie erforderlich sind.
