In this Treatise on the Functional Pathology of the Musculoskeletal System (FPMSS), Dr Brooks presents a new paradigm for understanding the musculoskeletal system and a scientifically valid—reliable, semiquantifiable, and consistently interpretable—method for examining dysfunction thereof. This first volume presents the fundamentals of the paradigm and is designed for use by a primary care audience. While the paradigm is applicable to the wide variety of clinical conditions potentially amenable to manual medicine and related rehabilitative techniques, this first volume takes chronic, nonspecific musculoskeletal pain syndromes as its focus for application.

The FPMSS paradigm complements orthopedic, rheumatologic, and neurologic understandings of the musculoskeletal system and contrasts with current models of manual medicine in several important respects:

• Understands the musculoskeletal system (MSS) as an integrated organ system
• Discriminates questions about physiology from questions about anatomy
• Discriminates questions about pathology from questions about physiology
• Differentiates functional pathology from structural pathology
• Appreciates principles of scientifically valid nomenclature for function and dysfunction of musculoskeletal structures as components of an integrated system
• Recognizes dysfunction of the musculoskeletal system as inefficient function
• Shifts the emphasis of examination for dysfunction from malalignment of structure/posture to disturbance of systemic movement
• Discriminates control of posture and movement from imbalance of available motion
• Grades available motion deficits using the criterion of proportionality—not merely symmetry—thus revealing otherwise unappreciated dysfunction and allowing for prioritization and profiling
• Prioritizes mobilization interventions according to specified, ranked criteria
• Profiles an individual’s motion phenotype based upon patterns of available motion deficits, thus providing “precision” biomechanical medicine

Use of the FPMSS paradigm examination will reduce the incidence of false negative and false positive findings for MSS dysfunction—thus improving the effectiveness, safety, and efficiency of caring for those suffering from chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Download or read book Non functional Requirements in Systems Analysis and Design written by Kevin MacG. Adams and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-23 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will help readers gain a solid understanding of non-functional requirements inherent in systems design endeavors. It contains essential information for those who design, use and maintain complex engineered systems, including experienced designers, teachers of design, system stakeholders and practicing engineers. Coverage approaches non-functional requirements in a novel way by presenting a framework of four systems concerns into which the 27 major non-functional requirements fall: sustainment, design, adaptation and viability. Within this model, the text proceeds to define each non-functional requirement, to specify how each is treated as an element of the system design process and to develop an associated metric for their evaluation. Systems are designed to meet specific functional needs. Because non-functional requirements are not directly related to tasks that satisfy these proposed needs, designers and stakeholders often fail to recognize the importance of such attributes as availability, survivability, and robustness. This book gives readers the tools and knowledge they need to both recognize the importance of these non-functional requirements and incorporate them in the design process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reductionist approach of molecular biology has given us detailed descriptions for many biochemical constituents of complex biological systems. For some of the simpler systems nearly the entire "parts catalog" has been assembled. These developments have set the stage for a new generation of questions -- questions of integration that deal with the relation between behavior of intact systems and their underlying molecular determinants, questions of unifying design principles that will give meaning to the bewildering diversity of alternative molecular designs, questions of higher-level theory and quantitative prediction, which currently are not available in most of biology. The motivation to develop this new perspective comes from the study of complex biochemical pathways, intricate circuits of gene regulation, network interactions within the immune system, plasticity of neural networks, and pattern formation by cellular networks. All these networks consist of more elemental constituents that find their meaning within the context of the intact system. The integrative perspective requires a new language and methodology. The objective of this text is to systematically develop these and to apply them to specific classes of metabolic networks and gene circuitry. The applications demonstrate the power of this approach to formulate and answer fundamental questions concerning network function, design and evolution that currently cannot be addressed by other methods. The text was first published in 1976 and is being reissued to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the author's first paper published on Biochemical Systems Analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applied Systems Analysis: Science and Art of Solving Real-Life Problems Subject Guide: Engineering – Industrial and Manufacturing Any activity is aimed at solving certain problems, which means transferring a system from an existing unsatisfactory problematic state to a desired state. The success or failure of the system depends on how its natural properties were implemented during the planning of improvement and intervention state. This book covers the theory and experience of successfully solving problems in a practical and general way. This book includes a general survey of modern systems analysis; offers several original results; presents the latest methodological and technological results of the theory of systems; introduces achievements; and discusses the transition from the ideology of the machine age to the ideology of the systems age. This book will be of interest to both professionals and academicians.
