Spasticity
Author: Allison Brashear, MD
Publisher: Demos Medical Publishing
ISBN: 1617050032
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 466
Book Description
A Doody's Core Title 2012 Spasticity: Diagnosis and Management is the first book solely dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of spasticity. This pioneering work defines spasticity in the broad context of Upper Motor Neuron Syndrome and focuses not on a single component, but on the entire constellation of conditions that make up the UMNS and often lead to disability. Spasticity: Diagnosis and Management clearly defines the process for the diagnosis of spasticity, the basic science behind its pathophysiology, the measurement tools used for evaluation, and reviews the available treatment options. Divided into five sections, this comprehensive clinical resource provides a roadmap for assessing the complicated picture of spasticity and choosing the appropriate interventions. Therapies including oral medications, intrathecal baclofen, botulinum toxin and phenol, and surgical options are thoroughly discussed, as are non-medical therapies and the role of the emerging technologies. The full spectrum of diseases involving spasticity in adults and children and the unique diagnostic and management challenges they present is addressed by experienced clinicians. This text is a one-stop source for physicians, therapists and other members of the spasticity management team tasked with the goal of improving patient care and outcomes. Special Features of Spasticity: Diagnosis and Management include In-depth coverage of diagnoses, interventions, and outcomes across multiple pathologies Tools and clinical measurements for patient assessment Treatment-focused chapters outlining current medical and other therapeutic options Illustrated review of limb anatomy Hands-on guidance to chemodenervation techniques with botulinum toxin and phenol, and ITB management Disease-based chapters devoted to the full range of clinical conditions involving spasticity in adults.and children Multidisciplinary perspective supporting a team approach to care

Motor Neuron Diseases
Author: Bradley James Turner
Publisher: Nova Science Publishers
ISBN: 9781631173424
Category : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Motor neuron disease (MND), also commonly known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder of the motor system in adults, characterised by the loss of motor neurons in the cortex, brain stem and spinal cord. This book presents current research from across the globe in the study of the causes, classification and treatments of MND, including membrane trafficking defects as determinants of motor neuron susceptibility and degeneration in ALS; motorneuron specific calcium dysregulation and perturbed cellular calcium homeostasis in ALS; and, stem cells and their application in ALS treatment; excitotoxicity and selective motor neuron degeneration and therapeutic invervention and assistive technology treatments.
