Jane Johnson EDITION YEAR: 2019 PAGES: 168 Jane Johnson, expert physiotherapist and sports massage therapist, adopts an approach to the complex process of postural assessment, breaking it down into sections that are easy to study and assimilate. It begins with a discussion of the ideal posture and the medical, personal and environmental factors that can influence it, continuing with an examination of the necessary and indispensable space-time organization, of the required equipment and of the methods of detection and documentation. The assessment procedures, in particular, are organized through an effective didactic succession of operational steps, using the concept of visual examination of the patient from the different front, side, rear perspectives, also taking into consideration the sitting position. The discussion is facilitated by a corpus of illustrations and photos that offer valid support for learning the evaluation technique and for identifying the interactions between the various parts of the body in the context of postural variations. At the end of the volume, models of evaluation forms are available, developed by the author herself, as a very precious tool for collecting and summarizing the data collected and to be processed by the evaluator. Postural assessment is a manual aimed at satisfying the basic needs of students and professionals in the fields of massage therapy, physiotherapy, sports medicine, athletic training and fitness, and to be used as a guide for determining muscle imbalances and their effects on physical condition. and on the patient's clinical situation.
