Developed by Vladimir Janda  respected neurologist and physiotherapist  the Janda approach presents a unique perspective to rehabilitation. In contrast to a more traditional structural view  the Janda approach is functionalemphasizing the importance of the sensorimotor system in controlling movement and chronic musculoskeletal pain syndromes from sports and general activities. Assessment and Treatment of Muscle Imbalance: The Janda Approach is the only text to offer practical  evidence-based application of Jandas theories. Filled with illustrations  photos  and step-by-step instructions  Assessment and Treatment of Muscle Imbalance uses a systematic approach in presenting information that can be used in tandem with other clinical techniques. This resource for practitioners features the following tools: A rationale for rehabilitation of the musculoskeletal system based on the relationship between the central nervous system and the motor system A systematic method for the functional examination of the muscular system Treatment processes focusing on the triad of normalization of peripheral structures  restoration of muscle balance  and facilitation of afferent systems and sensorimotor training The role of muscle imbalance and functional pathology of sensorimotor systems for specific pain complaints  including cervical pain syndrome  upper- and lower-extremity pain syndromes  and low back pain syndromes  Assessment and Treatment of Muscle Imbalance provides an evidence-based explanation of muscle imbalance. The step-by-step Janda system of evaluation is explainedincluding analysis of posture  balance  and gait; evaluation of movement patterns; testing of muscle length; and assessment of the soft tissue. The text explores treatment options for muscle imbalance through facilitation and inhibition techniques and sensorimotor training to restore neuromuscular function. It also includes four case studies examining musculoskeletal conditions and showing how the Janda approach compares with other treatments. This text combines theory  evidence  and applications to assist clinicians in implementing the Janda approach into their practice. Assessment and Treatment of Muscle Imbalance: The Janda Approach focuses on the neurological aspects of muscle imbalance that are common causes of pain and dysfunction in sports and occupational activities. By distilling the scientific works of Vladimir Janda into a practical  systematic approach  this unique resource will assist health care providers in treating patients with musculoskeletal complaints as well as exercise professionals in developing appropriate exercise prescription and training programs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651386007605,"sku":"ByrdShop_0736074007","price":87.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780736074001.jpg?v=1781834297","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/assessment-and-treatment-of-muscle-imbalance-the-janda-approach-9780736074001","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
