I have kept this book for a long time, but it is in a clean condition with no writing. Please understand that this is a used book. Publisher: Enterprise (2004/1/26) Release Date: 2004/1/26 This book comprehensively explains the aging process, both normal and abnormal, by utilizing related basic sciences, and details its clinical significance from the perspective of manual therapy for neuromuscular skeletal disorders. It is an essential source of specialized knowledge for advanced and accurate care management and the prevention of disabilities for the rapidly increasing number of elderly patients. It is also the first chiropractic geriatrics book in America to systematize clinical information related to today's social issues and lifestyles. In particular, the fall prevention training program in this book has been adopted and implemented by local governments and hospitals. The content is broadly divided into three parts: (1) Basic science of aging (changes in the musculoskeletal system, nervous system, and soft tissues due to aging, including posture and gait), (2) Diagnosis and treatment of common neuromuscular skeletal disorders (assessment and treatment strategies for spinal, upper and lower limb, and soft tissue disorders seen in the elderly), and (3) Prevention of disabilities and health promotion (health risks for the elderly, including functional assessment and psychological/social issues, and practical guidelines for exercise and rehabilitation). This is the best reliable text for all clinicians and students involved in the management of neuromuscular skeletal disorders. It is easy to understand with many effective figures and photographs.
