John H. Colson "Progressive Exercise Therapy in Rehabilitation and Physical Education" (4th Edition)

Description

Progressive Exercise Therapy in Rehabilitation and Physical Education

Part 1 describes very thoroughly all aspects of specific exercise therapy. By using, free exercises, assisted, assisted-active, auto-assisted active (tension) exercises, suspension and supported exercises. Resisted exercises, by weight and pulley, strength progression, resistance training, resistance by springs, by malleable materials, water and manual resistance.
Part 2 covers basic functional movements used in the early stages of mobilisation and re-education. It is concerned with positioning and manoeuvres which enable patients to move safely through various positions and directions.
Part 3 gives progressive exercises in terms of strength and mobility and includes movements for all parts of the body.
Part 4 is new and is a very useful addition to the text. It shows how to construct and use tables of specific exercises for particular conditions. By applied exercise therapy a large range of programmes are presented - regimes following total hip replacement, meniscectomy and major abdominal surgery.
Part 5 is a small but very valuable section of the book, dealing with general exercise therapy. Today, as more and more sportsmen and women take a greater interest in fitness training there are constant requests for help in building circuit training programmes. Here is sound advice on preparing different types of circuits for general, specific, function and pre-work situations. For those less dedicated but equally enthusiastic "keep-fitters" the section on exercises to music will be very helpful.
Finally, there are two excellent appendices - which I feel would have been more valuable
if they had been placed at the beginning of the book.

Appendix 1 explains starting positions, those fundamental and derived.
Appendix 2 gives gymnastic terminology, the dictionary of gymnastic terms that makes this valuable book easier to read and use, not only by trained Remedial Gymnasts and Chartered Physiotherapists but by all those involved in keepfit and sport, so that they may truly understand the principles of exercise therapy.
