Assessment & Treatment of Muscle Imbalance The Janda Approach blends postural techniques neurology & functional capabilities in order to alleviate chronic musculoskeletal pain & promote greater functionality Developed by Vladimir Janda respected neurologist & physiotherapist the Janda approach presents a unique perspective to rehabilitation In contrast to a more traditional structural view the Janda approach is functional emphasising the importance of the sensorimotor system in controlling movement & chronic musculoskeletal pain syndromes from sports & general activities This is the only text to offer practical evidence-based application of Janda's theories Filled with illustrations photos & step-by-step instructions the book uses a systematic approach in presenting information that can be used in tandem with other clinical techniques This resource for practitioners features a rationale for rehabilitation of the musculoskeletal system based on the relationship between the central nervous system & the motor system Through this book it provides an evidence-based explanation of muscle imbalance The step-by-step Janda system of evaluation is explained including analysis of posture balance & gait; evaluation of movement patterns; testing of muscle length; & assessment of the soft tissue The text explores treatment options for muscle imbalance through facilitation & inhibition techniques & sensorimotor training to restore neuromucular function It also

Includes:: four case studies examining musculoskeletal conditions & showing how the Janda approach compares with other treatments This text combines theory evidence & applications to assist clinicians in implementing the Janda approach into their practice

Winner of the prestigious Paul A Samuelson Award for scholarly writing on lifelong financial security John Cochrane's Asset Pricing now appears in a revised edition that unifies & brings the science of asset pricing up to date for advanced students & professionals Cochrane traces the pricing of all assets back to a single idea--price equals expected discounted payoff--that captures the macro-economic risks underlying each security's value By using a single stochastic discount factor rather than a separate set of tricks for each asset class Cochrane builds a unified account of modern asset pricing He presents applications to stocks bonds & options Each model--consumption based CAPM multifactor term structure & option pricing--is derived as a different

Specification of the discounted factor The discount factor framework also leads to a state-space geometry for mean-variance frontiers & asset pricing models It puts payoffs in different states of nature on the axes rather than mean & variance of return leading to a new & conveniently linear geometrical representation of asset pricing ideas Cochrane approaches empirical work with the Generalized Method of Moments which studies sample average prices & discounted payoffs to determine whether price does equal expected discounted payoff He translates between the discount factor GMM & state-space language & the beta mean-variance & regression language common in empirical work & earlier theory The book also

Includes:: a review of recent empirical work on return predictability value & other puzzles in the cross section & equity premium puzzles & their resolution Written to be a summary for academics & professionals as well as a textbook this book condenses & advances recent scholarship in financial economics
