tailieunhanh - The Muscle Energy Manual

T his book seeks to provide a comprehensive orientation to the fundamental concepts and clinical applications of Muscle Energy Technique (MET) as they have evolved over more than forty years. Fred L. Mitchell, Sr., DO, FAAO, the original developer of Muscle Energy Technique, never wrote a book, or even a paper, about MET specifically. Mitchell, Sr. did, however, write two highly significant papers! (1948, 1958) about manipulative treatment of mechanical dysfunctions of the pelvic joints. He gave credit to . Ruddy, . (1874-1964) and Carl Kettler, . as primary sources for his developing Muscle Energy concepts | Tlxe Muscle Energy Manual Concepts and Mechanisms The Musculoskeletal Screen Cervical Region Evaluation and Treatment Volume One Fred L.

Kai Galen Mitchell he new Muscle Energy Manual series greatly expands upon the concepts presented in the first texts ever published on Muscle Energy Technique Mitchell Jr. Moran. Pruzzo 1973 and 1979 . Since that time MET concepts and methods have spread to manipulative medicine and manual therapy programs worldwide -making the need for an updated comprehensive Muscle Energy text and manual even more urgent. The series provides an essential resource for students and clinicians desiring to apply MET in theừ practices. The Muscle Energy Manual Volume One 1995 covers Muscle Energy concepts and mechanisms the musculoskeletal screen and cervical region evaluation and treatment. Volume Two 1998 covers the evaluation and treatment of the thoracic spine lumbar spine and rib cage. Each volume first review s relevant anatomy and biomechanics to orient the reader and then presents clear step-by-step directions for evaluation and treatment procedures. Included in Volume One Thorough explication of the basic science concepts and mechanisms underlying Muscle Energy theory An updated and improved chapter on musculoskeletal screening procedures Complete MET evaluation and treatment procedures for the cervical spine Discussion of the rationale for diagnosis and treatment procedures Clarification of ERS and FRS diagnostic labels Over 280 photographs and illustrations summary tables Fred L.
