商品描述

This book proposes a way of understanding human movement and its forms of deterioration and preservation in older people. The author presents a method to diagnose motor problems, to implement effective both preventive and therapeutic measures, and to compare the results with those of other clinicians and health centres.

It is a conceptual and practical book at the same time. From the redefinition of the classic geriatric syndrome of Immobility, a concept of deep clinical interest is developed: Dysmobility. Moreover, a specially developed methodology is delivered to maximise the benefits for the patient, clinicians, and caregivers. Both the concepts and the methodology are discussed in a clear, precise, and practical manner to be applied in the daily clinical practice in Geriatrics.

Dysmobility is defined in its three diagnostic axes, including the official updated version of D-STAGING (known as ETADI in Spanish), the motor continuum staging that revolutionised the clinic with its advent. Additionally, the requirements and criteria necessary for its correct application and use are explained conceptually step by step, and practically with clinical cases. Along with this, the new possibilities that arise from this conceptualisation and methodology are addressed, particularly in the field of comparative medicine and clinical research. Finally, the bases of a new theory of aging, the Movement-Time theory or theory of Dysmobility, are presented.

This work will support physicians from different medical specialties, such as geriatricians, physiatrists, family doctors, geriatric dentists, and health professionals from the interdisciplinary team like gerontologists, nurses, kinesiologists/physiotherapists, psychologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, nutritionists and social workers. It will also be of interest to students of health-related professions, resident physicians for different specialties, and researchers in mobility and rehabilitation.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書提出了一種理解人類運動及其在老年人中衰退與保存形式的方法。作者介紹了一種診斷運動問題的方法，以實施有效的預防和治療措施，並將結果與其他臨床醫生和健康中心的結果進行比較。

這本書同時具備概念性和實用性。從重新定義經典的老年綜合症——不動性開始，發展出一個深具臨床意義的概念：運動障礙（Dysmobility）。此外，還提供了一種特別開發的方法論，以最大化對患者、臨床醫生和護理人員的益處。這些概念和方法論以清晰、精確且實用的方式進行討論，以便應用於老年醫學的日常臨床實踐中。

運動障礙在其三個診斷軸上進行定義，包括官方更新版本的 D-STAGING（在西班牙語中稱為 ETADI），這是一種革命性地改變臨床的運動連續性分期。此外，還逐步概念性地解釋了正確應用和使用所需的要求和標準，並通過臨床案例進行實際說明。與此同時，還探討了這一概念化和方法論所帶來的新可能性，特別是在比較醫學和臨床研究領域。最後，提出了一種新的老化理論的基礎，即運動-時間理論或運動障礙理論。

這項工作將支持來自不同醫學專科的醫生，如老年醫學專家、物理醫學科醫生、家庭醫生、老年牙醫，以及來自跨學科團隊的健康專業人員，如老年學家、護理人員、運動治療師/物理治療師、心理學家、語言治療師、職業治療師、營養師和社會工作者。這本書對於健康相關專業的學生、不同專科的住院醫師以及在運動和康復領域的研究人員也將具有興趣。

Dr. Dinamarca is a member of the Chilean Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology, and of the Chilean Society of Psychogeriatrics. Also, honorary member of the Chilean Society of Orthopedics and Traumatology, of the Paraguayan Society of Gerontology and Geriatrics and of the Colombian Society of Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology. He is also Chair of the Scientific Committee of the Fragility Fracture Network (2023-2024), chief editor of BHVM, the indexed scientific journal of the Lucas Sierra Foundation in Chile, and associated editor of Geriatrics, Gerontology and Aging, the indexed scientific journal of the Brazilian Society of Geriatrics and Gerontology. Dr. Dinamarca is the author and introducer of the concept of "Dysmobility", a practical reconceptualisation of the Immobility Geriatric Syndrome. He presented his work in 2002 in the Latin American Network of Gerontology, and in 2004, he published the book 'From Immobility to Dysmobility in Geriatrics' (Chilean Society of Psychogeriatrics). Over the following 20 years, this work deeply influenced clinical practice in Latin America and Spain, modifying the nomenclature and methodology in multiple scientific and academic publications, and also influencing public health policies in several countries.
