World-renown orthopedic surgeon and specialist in joint diseases, Prof. David G. Mendes MD has created a unique and life-changing guide for sufferers of hip joint pain. Mendes System Pain Free Arthritis Exercises presents simple, effective exercises designed to prevent deterioration and improve the range of motion of joints. Prof. Mendes is board certified in Orthopedic surgery in the United States and Israel and is the past Director of Orthopedic Surgery and the Center for Implant Surgery at Bnai-Zion (Rothschild) Medical Center in Haifa. He is also the developer of various joint implants, biomaterials, surgical instruments and surgical techniques. Comments from readers (first edition):“I was a little skeptical at first but once I started this regularly, it became a welcome part of my day…The pain in my hips has subsided dramatically, I am regaining mobility in both hips and spine and I am able to start the day with a smile again.” “After a month the pain is minimal and I've noticed an improved flexibility in my hips and back…Thank you Dr. Mendes.” “A few minutes a day, before I get out of bed in the morning, and I can start the day on my feet!” “I've been using these exercises for the past few years…My daily routine helps keep my back pains in check and keeps an old sport injury in my knee from flaring up.”
The concept of Praying exercises was developed by Professor David G. Mendes MD and the physiotherapists Kobi Schwartz and Danny Kelman from the Center for Implant Surgery at the Bnai Zion (Rothschild) Medical Center in Haifa, Israel. This method has been tested with rewarding results for more than twenty years. The term Praying Exercises was chosen due to the similarity of some of the movements to those done during rituals in a variety of religions and require concentration and persistence. Praying exercises aim at moving the hip joints in flowing, painless, motions. he system uses 'reverse action ' and 'gravity depended' exercises. The exercises maximize the motion's range that lubricates the articular cartilage and maintain its viability by alternating gentle pressure. The system uses three basic positions: lying down, sitting on a bench and at a later stage standing on hands and knees. These positions allow the trainer to adapt his exercises and routines to his own level of comfort, minimizing pressure and pain on the joints. Praying exercises were developed to benefit people of all ages that suffer from diseases of hip joints such as Arthritis and Rheumatism. These conditions manifest in discomfort and pain in the joints and bony structure of the thighs and pelvis. In most cases, the arthritic joint's tissues inflammatory process causes bony protrusions and cysts and degrades the articular cartilage. This process eventually limits joint motion. As the condition progresses, pain increases until basic motion and actions such as stair climbing and standing up from a sitting position are accompanied by acute pain. At its worse, these conditions inflict pain and long lasting damage to muscles, ligaments and bones, even when in complete rest. Physical exercises are a popular way to improve body function but conventional exercises increase load and pressure on the painful arthritic joint. Therefore conventional methods of exercise are found to be unsuitable for treatment of Arthritis and Rheumatism. In order to alleviate pain and promote healing, Praying Exercises were designed to provide a solution to those people that suffer from painful joints due to degenerative and inflammatory diseases. Furthermore, patients awaiting surgery or recovering from hip surgery will benefit greatly from the procedures described in this book - both in a pain relieving capacity as well as promoting and supporting a full recovery. Experience also showed that the exercises help children affected by Legg- Perthes disease and slipped capital femoral epiphysis.
This study measures the incidence and prevalence of musculoskeletal conditions and projects trends, presenting the latest national data illuminating the physical and economic costs. Several professional organizations concerned with musculoskeletal health and the mission of the U.S. Bone and Joint Decade collaborated to tabulate the data, to educate health care professionals, policy makers and the public.--Publisher's description.
This comprehensive reference on total knee arthroplasty describes all surgical techniques and prosthetic designs for primary and revision arthroplasty, discusses every aspect of patient selection, preoperative planning, and intraoperative and postoperative care.
Seasoned clinicians comprehensively, yet succinctly, summarize their years of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic pain across a wide variety of medical conditions. Drawing on their extensive personal knowledge of internal medicine, family practice, rheumatology, neurology, cardiology, as well as of urology, oncology, neurology, physical medicine, and gastroenterology, they provide all the practical information needed by busy practitioners to initiate appropriate diagnostic tests and therapy-without having to consult other references. Treatment is presented in practical terms, with specific but full information given on medications and dosages.
This practical case-based book assists clinicians in the evaluation and treatment of patellofemoral patients by reviewing critical elements for assessment and presenting clinical scenarios in which different experts provide their recommendations for treatment. Subdivided in 6 parts it explores the joint's anatomy and mechanics, as well as case-based evaluation and treatment of patellofemoral instability, arthritis and chondrosis, traumatic injuries and degenerative tendinopathies. Moreover, the closing part offers an overview of the latest advances and future developments. Written in collaboration with ISAKOS, this book offers a valuable guide for orthopedists and sports medicine treating common and complex injuries of this joint.
Human spaceflight has required space agencies to study and develop exercise countermeasure (CM) strategies to manage the profound, multi-system adaptation of the human body to prolonged microgravity (μG). Future space exploration will present new challenges in terms of adaptation management that will require the attention of both exercise physiologists and operational experts. In the short to medium-term, all exploration missions will be realised using relatively small vehicles/habitats, with some exploration scenarios including surface operations in low (<1G) gravity conditions. The evolution of CM hardware has allowed modern-day astronauts to return to Earth with, on average, relatively moderate levels μG-induced adaptation of the musculoskeletal (MS) and cardiovascular (CV) systems. However, although the intense use of CM has attenuated many aspects of MS and CV adaptation, on an individual level, there remains wide variation in the magnitude of these changes. Innovations in CM programs have been largely engineering-driven, with new hardware providing capability for new modes of exercise and a wider range of exercise protocols, which, in turn, has facilitated the transfer of traditional, but effective, terrestrial concepts based around high frequency resistance (multiple-set, multiple repetition) and mediumintensity continuous aerobic training. As a result, International Space Station (ISS) CM specialists have focused their efforts in these domains, taking advantage of hardware innovations as and when they became available. However, terrestrial knowledge in human and exercise physiology has expanded rapidly during the lifetime of the ISS and, consequently, there is potential to optimize current approaches by re-examining terrestrial knowledge and identifying opportunities to implement this knowledge into operational practices. Current terrestrial knowledge in exercise physiology is the product of a large number of intervention studies in which the variables that contribute to the effects of physical activity (mode, frequency, duration, intensity, recovery) have been controlled and systematically manipulated. However, due to limited opportunities to perform intervention studies in both spaceflight analogues – head-down bed rest (HDBR) being considered the ‘gold standard’ – and spaceflight itself, it will not be possible to systematically investigate the contribution of these factors to the efficacy of in-flight CM. As such, it will be necessary to draw on terrestrial evidence to identify solutions/strategies that may be best suited to the constraints of exploration and prioritise specific solutions/strategies for evaluation in HDBR and in flight.
