Overview: This book is written with occupational therapy students in mind, as a guide to newly qualified occupational therapists and for those returning to work after a break in service. Over the years I have been asked many times by newly appointed staffwhether I could recommend a book to prepare them for working with orthopaedic patients. I hope this small volume will fill the gap in the literature on the subject, and that it will be useful as a quick reference book. I hope it mayaiso fall into the hands ofthose in other disciplines and enable them to understand and appreciate the contributi

Overview: Hoogtevrees is een van de bekendste vormen van angst. De klachten treden niet alleen op grote hoogtes op. Sommige mensen durven bijvoorbeeld niet in diep helder water te zwemmen of hebben moeite om naar een kerktoren op te kijken. Iedereen heeft in zekere mate last van hoogtevrees. Hoogtes kunnen gevaarlijk zijn en het is dan ook logisch om op grote hoogte op je hoede te zijn. Maar wanneer de angst uit de hand loopt en je bang wordt in situaties die geen angst hoeven op te wekken, dan belemmert de hoogtevrees je dagelijks leven. Mensen met hoogtevrees gaan immers steeds meer situatie

Overview: Skeletal muscle consumes significant amounts of oxygen, and its oxygen flux increases significantly under conditions of exercise and muscle contraction. This makes the muscle vulnerable to oxidative stress since concomitantly with the increase of oxygen flow there is an increase of free oxygen radicals which are a byproduct of muscle respiration. A number of studies in the last decade have documented the involvement of free oxygen radicals in exercising muscles. The consequences of muscle oxidative stress have resulted mainly in increased muscle protein oxidation, elevation of lipid
