Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation in Otorhinolaryngology

This book offers comprehensive and up-to-date information on physical therapy and rehabilitation for individuals with otorhinolaryngological conditions. Physical therapy and rehabilitation play vital roles in otorhinolaryngology by assisting patients in restoring optimal function and mobility in the head and neck region. Within this specialized field, therapists utilize various techniques to address conditions affecting the ears, nose, throat, and related structures. These techniques may include vestibular rehabilitation to manage balance disorders, exercises to improve swallowing function following surgery or injury, and methods to alleviate symptoms associated with temporomandibular joint dysfunction. By providing personalized care plans and guidance, physical therapists aid patients in regaining independence, reducing pain, and enhancing their overall quality of life within the realm of otorhinolaryngology. This current reference is essential for the libraries of all otolaryngologists, head and neck surgeons, audiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, and residents interested in delivering the highest quality of care to their patients.
