What is it that characterises Pat Davies' second book about hemi plegia and makes it so special? It is a book which committed ther apists can really use in their practical work with patients. We ther apists need such books. The engagement and enthusiasm must come from us. It is similar to a good cookbook. Admittedly one has to know something about cooking but when learning the secrets of haute cuisine - not just the expensive frills but the real refinement- then theoretical dissertations are not very helpful. In practice com ments like "you just have to have the right touch" are useless. Many...

Susanne Klein-Vogelbach hat in diesem Buch ihr bereits anerkanntes Konzept der Gangschulung mit seinen vielfaltigen praktischen Anwendungsmoglichkeiten zum ersten Mal umfassend beschrieben und erlautert. Die Gangschulung basiert auf acht Beobachtungskriterien, die die Autorin anhand systematischer Analysen des Gehverhaltens bei gesunden und kranken Menschen entwickelt hat; sie beziehen sich auf bestimmte Teilaspekte des Bewegungsablaufs "Gehen" und lassen sich zu einem "Idealbild" des normalen Gangs zusammenfugen. Abweichungen davon sind im Gangbild jedes Patienten leicht zu erkennen - und...

Susanne 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...

Susanne Klein-Vogelbach explains her concept of observation and analysis of human movement as a basis for functional movement therapy.
She first describes therapeutic exercises and manipulative techniques in "therapist language," and then translates them into "patient language." This helps therapists to instruct patients more successful by using appropriate terms. Exercises are described for functional training of the abdominal and back muscles, functional training of rotation about the long axes of the body and thighs, functional respiration training, and functional treatment of...
