Deborah Falla: Trastornos de la Columna Cervical (CSD)

Escrito por un grupo de especialistas e investigadores líderes en este campo, que proporcionan acercamiento sistemático a las estrategias específicas para la prevención, a los métodos de evaluación clínica y los protocolos de rehabilitación para el tratamiento de personas con dolor cervical.

La obra, profusamente ilustrada con diagramas y fotografías, se centra en tres enfermedades concretas: los trastornos vinculados a la lesión de latigazo cervical, el dolor cervicogénico y el dolor cérvico-braquial. El texto explora los aspectos fisiopatológicos del sistema sensorial, motor y sensomotor y los aspectos psicosociales asociados con el dolor en el cuello. Se describen también las pautas clínicas para el examen clínico y el tratamiento de este tipo de trastornos.

Se trata de un libro de texto esencial para los profesionales así como para los estudiantes de último curso de Fisioterapia, Quiropráctica y Osteopatía así como para estudiantes de posgrado de Fisioterapia Manipulativa, Musculoesquelética y Deportiva, y los especialistas en Medicina Musculoesquelética.
