Abstract

Grâce aux progrès de la science, nous savons maintenant que le mouvement fait partie intégrante de la santé de la future maman et de son bébé. Or, puisque de grands changements s'opèrent dans le corps de la femme enceinte, la majorité des principes d'entraînement traditionnels ne s'applique plus à sa situation. C'est pourquoi ce livre propose des exercices respectant spécifiquement les besoins musculaires et articulaires qui évoluent au cours des neuf mois de la grossesse et des six mois suivant la naissance de l'enfant. Cet ouvrage contient également de judicieux conseils et de nombreux programmes pour prévenir et soulager les douleurs associées à la grossesse et à la période postnatale, pour prévenir ou éliminer les inconvénients fréquents, pour corriger les problèmes de posture les plus courants et préparer le corps à l'accouchement afin de faciliter le travail. La nouvelle maman pourra ainsi reprendre le contrôle de son corps après l'accouchement et revenir en toute sécurité à l'entraînement ou au sport.

Siblings of Children with Disabilities

Abstract

When there's a child with a disability in the family, how are normally developing siblings affected? According to Kate Strohm, a counselor and health educator, siblings of people with disabilities face particular emotional challenges that are often overlooked. Able siblings commonly struggle with feelings of isolation, grief, anger, and anxiety?and these and other emotional issues can have lifelong effects. [paragraph rephrased from publisher's version]

Being the Other One is based on the author's own experience (as a sibling of a sister with cerebral palsy) and on extensive interviews she conducted with siblings of all ages. In clear and compassionate terms, Strohm explores the often secret feelings of siblings and offers valuable strategies for coping with the challenges they face.

Being the Other One reveals the difficulties faced by siblings at all stages of life, from early childhood through adulthood, when siblings must often assume responsibility for the care of their disabled brothers and sisters. Though the book looks honestly at the many challenges that siblings face, it is full of encouragement and practical strategies. Strohm emphasizes that when siblings are able to clearly identify and openly express their feelings and concerns - and when parents and health professionals offer the needed support - siblings can thrive. This book includes writing exercises for personal exploration and a substantial resources section listing helpful books, organizations, and websites.

Abstract

Information on pressure sores and how to deal with them. In an individual with spina bifida some of the nerves do not develop properly, which results in little or no sensation in some areas of the skin. Without the warning of discomfort or pain from heat, cold, sharp objects, pressure, scrapes or excessive moisture an individual will be unaware of damage to their skin. A sore may develop quite quickly and can worsen rapidly if not attended to properly. Children need to learn the importance of personal hygiene to their overall well being. Parents should begin teaching skin care to their child at an early age, until their routine becomes second nature: * Perform regular self checks of the skin, using a hand held mirror to view those areas not easily seen with the eyes. * Keep skin clean and dry. Moisture and chemicals from urine, bowel material or sweat can damage the skin if left there too long. * Eat nutritious foods and drink plenty of fluids to keep the body and skin healthy.
