This clinically oriented text focuses on biomechanics as it relates to spinal manipulative treatment, emphasising the applications to daily practice.Chapters cover basic mechanics, functional anatomy, mechanics of spinal manipulation, and the effects of spinal manipulation. A chapter of case studies illustrates the application of biomechanics to spinal manipulation.
The first chapter contains an undergraduate level introduction to mechanics. Chapters 2 and 3 are concerned with the detailed functional anatomy of the lumbar, thoracic and cervical spine. Chapters 4 and 5 contain detailed and comprehensive accounts of the clinical biomechanics of spinal manipulation, and the physiological and neuromuscular effects produced by these manipulations, respectively. Chapter 6 concludes with a selected series of case studies taken directly from clinical practice.
PART 1 BASIC MECHANICS: Vector Algebra, Force System Analysis, Newtons Laws, Particle Kinematics, Particle Kinetics, Inverse Statics Approach. PART 2 FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY OF THE LUMBAR AND THORACIC SPINE. PART 3 FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY OF THE CERVICAL SPINE PART 4 THE MECHANICS OF SPINAL MANIPULATION PART 5 THE MECHANICAL, NEUROMUSCULAR, AND PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS PRODUCED BY CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATIVE TREATMENTS (CSMT): Movement and Relative Movements of Vertebrae During CSMT, Force Applied During CSMT, Audible Release, Reflex Phenomena, Viscerosomatic Responses. PART 6 SPINAL MANIPULATION IN THE CLINICAL MANAGEMENT OF SPINE PAIN
