Pathomechanics of Lower limb dysfunctions: Prevention and Manual Therapy

By Naveen Kumar P

The book aims to help the physiotherapy students have an insight into the aims and means of physiotherapy advances in manual therapy. The physiotherapy field is becoming a more advanced skilled profession and continuously changing due to new advances in the physiotherapy field. This book's innovation and research content will relieve the physiotherapy students, physiotherapists, and those pursuing masters in orthopaedic manual therapy to practice more efficiently. This book is an attempt to make the manual therapy subject easy and comprehensive to physiotherapists. While orthopaedic Manual Therapy is a subset of PhysioTherapy, the pathomechanics of the lower limb proposed by Dr. Naveen is a unique subset thereof. Dr. Naveen has proposed and clinically proved upon thousands of patients about exact pathomechanics of Varus/medial knee arthritis and Valgus/Lateral knee arthritis and other forms of knee arthritis from knee dysfunctions. Thereby revolutionizing the exact cause of the arthritis of the knee. With this knowledge, one can diagnose any knee dysfunctions early and treat them with more accuracy. Based on that above (Hip) and below (Foot), Bio and Pathomechanics missing link are solved. Added to this discovery, specific spring tests are applied for the first time on the knee, hip and foot joint dysfunctions to accurately diagnose and treat. And associated soft tissue assessment and treatment by using Deep Friction has been explained in detail. Recent research articles are proved the Mechanics of synovial fluid influx and outflux, Condylar cartilage nutrition, Joint stability and Vascular flow in relation to joint movement and pressure variation inside the joint, which will help us to understand the reversal of knee arthritis to normal with Orthopaedic Manual Therapy without knee replacement. The author's innovative lower limb pathomechanics will give insight into how Varus and valgus knee will affect the mechanics of the hip and foot and vice versa. Therefore, this innovative pathomechanics will guide a physiotherapist to treat lower limb dysfunctions more accurately. Moreover, to prevent a recurrence. In the preventive aspect of Injury and Dysfunction, Physiotherapists can analyze physical stress acted upon specific tissue from the lifestyle of a person and accordingly how to advise graded strengthening proportionate to physical stress using theory-"physical stress VS tissue strength, adaptation and graded strengthening".
