Download or read book Differential Diagnosis of the Spine written by Debra Dent B. P. T. Dip Manip P. T. Ocs FCAMPT and published by . This book was released on 2016-12-12 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Differential Diagnosis is the ability to discern or distinguish diseases or conditions that have similar symptoms. The goal of this book is to assist the Physical Therapist in protecting the patient from being misdiagnosed and having their condition or disease progress without undergoing treatment in a vital time frame. A systematic approach that is used in the evaluation of the patient will assist the Therapist in not forgetting to evaluate the symptoms appropriately. Symptoms that warrant a referral for further testing will hopefully be flagged by the Therapist. Certain symptoms will often highlight non-mechanical conditions or pathologies of visceral or pathological origin and can be contraindications to many Therapy treatments.Evidence in the research is now assisting Therapist to understand which tests can provide more statistically relevant information. Following a systematic approach where the symptoms are reviewed with possible hypothetical diagnosis, the Therapist can start with the simplest explanation. If unable to rule out the simplest explanation, the Therapist must proceed and consider more complex issues. Therapists are now on the frontline of medicine. Using deductive and clinical reasoning in a systematic approach will empower the Therapist to Think the Worst First.

Download or read book Diagnosing Orthopedic Pain written by S. Kumaravel and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2023-04-15 with total page 787 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical diagnosis in orthopedic pain conditions can be mysterious, especially when many conditions mimic each other in the same region. An unusual manifestation delays diagnosis, and increases complications, worsening the patient’s condition. This book highlights the need for a change in our method of clinical practice, both in primary care and specialist care. Dr. Kumaravel has updated methods in diagnosing orthopedic conditions and has structured the chapters so that in a region of pain, both local and transmitted pain are considered. A simple approach of considering the different conditions in tables and flow charts will help young orthopedic surgeons to discover what they are dealing with. i.e., If there is pain, then where did it arise? What is the list of conditions one needs to consider? What can it mimic? What do they need to be differentiated from? Never missing a diagnosis can’t be more emphasized. Because knowing what condition one is dealing with solves 99% of the problem, while treating it is only the remaining 1%. Knowledge is power. Readers can apply these to their patients and plan the treatment accordingly. This well-structured book for orthopedic pain makes learning orthopedics entertaining and assists clinicians in giving correct and quick care.
Download or read book Sagittal Balance of the Spine written by Pierre Roussouly and published by Thieme. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 767 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unique resource from internationally renowned experts details the key role of sagittal spine balance Through evolution, human verticality became associated with a wide range of normal pelvic shapes and associated pelvic incidence angles (PIs). While all types of sagittal alignment generally provide adequate support to young adults, age, stress, and related degeneration can progressively lead to sagittal imbalance and contribute to various spinal pathologies. Sagittal Balance of the Spine by Pierre Roussouly, João Luiz Pinheiro-Franco, Hubert Labelle, Martin Gehrchen, and a cadre of esteemed international contributors focuses on the importance of sagittal alignment and spino-pelvic shape identification in clinical practice. Offering the most comprehensive text on sagittal balance to date, this state-of-the-art, richly illustrated book fills a void in the literature, offering clinical pearls throughout seven sections and 24 chapters. Key Highlights The biomechanics of sagittal balance including spine modeling, primary parameters, spinal curves segmentation, and lumbar lordosis classification The role of sagittal balance in low back pain and degeneration, with discussion of spinal orientation and the contact forces theory, spinal degeneration associated with spinopelvic morphotypes, and compensatory mechanisms Comprehensive analysis of the relationship between sagittal imbalance and isthmic lysis spondylolisthesis, degenerative spondylolisthesis, Scheuermann's kyphosis, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, and adult scoliosis Posterior and anterior treatment approaches – from spinal fixation and spinal fusion – to spinal osteotomy techniques and management of surgical failure This text is essential reading for every neurosurgical and orthopaedic resident, as well as veteran surgeons who evaluate and treat patients with spine conditions. Clinicians will learn why incorporating sagittal balance evaluations into spinal exams is integral to devising more effective treatment strategies and achieving improved outcomes.
