Summary

The first part of the book looks at advances in the sciences underpinning musculoskeletal physiotherapy practice. There is commentary on topics such as movement, the interaction between pain and motor control as well as neuromuscular adaptations to exercise. Applied anatomical structure is covered in addition to the challenges of lifestyle and ageing. A new section highlights the area of measurement and presents the scope of measurements for investigating central and peripheral aspects relating to pain, function and morphological change. Another section discusses research approaches such as quantitative and qualitative methods as well as translational research. Part III contains sections on aspects of management which are applicable to musculoskeletal disorders of both the spine and periphery. Topics include models for management prescription, communication and pain management and principles of management for the articular, nervous and sensorimotor systems. There is also discussion about how physiotherapists may use cognitive behavioural therapies when treating people with chronic musculoskeletal disorders. The final part focuses on issues in clinical practice for a particular region, condition or the most topical approaches to the diagnosis and management of a region.
