According to a 2005 report of the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 1.3 billion people worldwide – 16% of the global population – experienced significant disability. This number has only been increasing due to population ageing and an increase in the prevalence of non-communicable diseases. Rehabilitation addresses the impact of a health condition on a person’s everyday life, by optimizing their function and reducing the experience of disability. Rehabilitation ensures people with a health condition can remain as independent as possible and participate in education, work, and meaningful life roles. Global demographic and health trends, such as population ageing, medical staffing shortages, rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases, as well as continued consequences of conflict, injury and developmental conditions are placing increasing demands on the health care systems. The need for quality rehabilitation is rapidly growing, yet in many parts of the world this need is largely unmet.
How Does the Body’s Motor Control System Deal with Repetition? While the presence of nonlinear dynamics can be explained and understood, it is difficult to be measured. A study of human movement variability with a focus on nonlinear dynamics, Nonlinear Analysis for Human Movement Variability, examines the characteristics of human movement within this framework, explores human movement in repetition, and explains how and why we analyze human movement data. It takes an in-depth look into the nonlinear dynamics of systems within and around us, investigates the temporal structure of variability, and discusses the properties of chaos and fractals as they relate to human movement. Providing a fo...
Now in one convenient volume, Atlas of Amputations and Limb Deficiencies: Surgical, Prosthetic, and Rehabilitation Principles, Fifth Edition, remains the definitive reference on the surgical and prosthetic management of acquired and congenital limb loss. Developed in partnership with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and edited by Joseph Ivan Krajbich, MD, FRCS(C), Michael S. Pinzur, MD, FAAOS, COL Benjamin K. Potter, MD, FAAOS, FACS, and Phillip M. Stevens, MEd, CPO, FAAOP, it discusses the most recent advances and future developments in prosthetic technology with in-depth treatment and management recommendations for adult and pediatric conditions. With coverage of every aspect of this complex field from recognized experts in amputation surgery, rehabilitation, and prosthetics, it is an invaluable resource for surgeons, physicians, prosthetists, physiatrists, therapists, and all others with an interest in this field.
The leading and definitive reference on the surgical and prosthetic management of acquired and congenital limb loss. The fourth edition of the Atlas of Amputations and Limb Deficiencies is written by recognized experts in the fields of amputation surgery, rehabilitation, and prosthetics.

Die Geschichte Der Pogues gestaltet sich ebenso ausschweifend und turbulent wie ihre mitreißenden, aufwühlenden Songs. In den Straßen und Pubs des Londons der Achtziger nimmt die unglaubliche Karriere der britischen Raubeine ihren Ausgangspunkt, in deren Verlauf über tatsächlich mehr als zwanzig Jahre die Pogues zu einer wahrhaft legendaren Band werden. Die Autorin Carol Clerk lässt Shane Macgowan, Spider Stacey, Jem Finer, Andrew Ranken, James Fearnley und eine ganze Reihe von Kollegen, Freunden und Fans zu Wort kommen. So entsteht ein ehrliches Porträt einer absolut eingeschworenen Gruppe von Musikern mitsamt ihren Auseinandersetzungen, ihren trunkenen Streitereien, ihren Affären, den Drogen, all dem Anheuern und Feuern... Jedoch über all dem ist das einzig wichtige spurbar - die Leidenschaft für ihre Musik.
