Physical Medicine Interventions for Skeletal and Cardiorespiratory Muscle Dysfunction
The information in this book is what every clinician who treats patients with severe muscle weakness needs to know. It is separated into volumes for skeletal and for cardiorespiratory muscle management. The knowledge contained in these volumes will permit clinicians to optimally manage the most severe and life-threatening problems and complications associated with any degree of muscle weakness to optimize physical functioning and prolong life with quality.
This volume focuses on SKELETAL MUSCLE DYSFUNCTION only. [Order Here]

Management of Patients with Neuromuscular Diseases
A great majority of people with neuromuscular diseases like muscular dystrophy, ALS, spinal muscular atrophy, myasthenia gravis and post-poliomyelitis continue to be told that they have "terminal illnesses" and are not offered management options that can spare them of cardiopulmonary morbidity and mortality. This book is unique in offering viable management alternatives that result in a patients prolonged survival and enhanced quality of life.

Key Features

• Unique because it offers descriptions of how to eliminate the respiratory or cardiac causes of complications and death for neuromuscular diseases.
• Emphasizes the home care/management of severe disabled individuals with neuromuscular disorders and those who require ventilator use.
• Describes inexpensive methods of clearing airway secretions and preventing episodes of respiratory failure that would otherwise necessitate hospitalizations and expensive, invasive interventions like tracheotomy or result in the patient's death. Important in the third world where this could prevent many deaths.

Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation
This book describes the use of inspiratory and expiratory muscle aids to prevent the pulmonary complications of lung disease and conditions with muscle weakness. It also describes treatment and rehabilitation interventions specific for patients with these conditions. This book is unique in presenting the use of entirely noninvasive management alternatives to eliminate respiratory morbidity and mortality and avoid the need to resort to tracheostomy for the majority of patients with lung or neuromuscular disease.

8. Bach JR. Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation This book describes the use of inspiratory and expiratory muscle aids to prevent the pulmonary complications of lung disease and conditions with muscle weakness. It also describes treatment and rehabilitation interventions specific for patients with these conditions. This book is unique in presenting the use of entirely noninvasive management alternatives to eliminate respiratory morbidity and mortality and avoid the need to resort to tracheostomy for the majority of patients with lung or neuromuscular disease.

9. Bach JR. Management of Patients with Neuromuscular Diseases A great majority of people with neuromuscular diseases like muscular dystrophy, ALS, spinal muscular atrophy, myasthenia gravis and post-poliomyelitis continue to be told that they have "terminal illnesses" and are not offered management options that can spare them of cardiopulmonary morbidity and mortality. This book is unique in offering viable management alternatives that result in a patients prolonged survival and enhanced quality of life.
