Riabilitazione Cardiorespiratoria

390-page volume with numerous illustrations and tables.

This book provides a clear and concise reference for physiotherapy students and practising physiotherapists involved in the management of patients with respiratory and cardiovascular disease. It is also a useful update for clinicians returning to practice.

In the context of changes within national health services, the text describes the evolution of physiotherapy towards an evidence-based, research-oriented and quality-controlled practice, highlighting the role of multidisciplinary teamwork and the contribution of trained nursing staff.

The chapters focus on common clinical conditions, treatment methods and the role of the physiotherapist in hospital settings, emphasising a holistic approach to patient care, early mobilisation and education. The diagnostic label is considered alongside signs and symptoms in order to plan appropriate physiotherapy interventions.
