Elli ist nach einem Unfall im Wachkoma gefangen. Doch sie erkennt, dass sie die Körper von Schlafenden übernehmen kann. Will ihr Mann Mick sie ins Jenseits befördern? Kann sie ihn mit Hilfe ihres Jugendfreundes Pidder daran hindern? Was genau haben Kylie Monique und Helene Fleischer mit der ganzen Sache zu tun? Und was zur Hölle will der Krakauer? Es fängt alles damit an, dass Elli die Decke auf den Kopf fällt. Im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. Bis zu diesem Ereignis lief alles bestens: Elli ist Teilhaberin eines erfolgreichen Unternehmens, hat einen jungen Ehemann, den sie über alles liebt und sie muss sich keine finanziellen Sorgen machen. Doch dann ändert der Unfall alles. Ihr Bewusstsein ist fortan in ihrem regungslosen Körper gefangen.

Was sich wie der Beginn eine Tragödie anhört, ist der Startschuss einer turbulenten Geschichte über Freundschaft, Lebensmut und Empathie. Die Leserinnen und Leser erhalten Einblick in Ellis Gedankenwelt, die ¿ trotz oder gerade wegen ihrer fehlenden körperlichen Mobilität - erfrischen aktiv ist. In ihrem ¿Head-Office¿ bestimmt sie die Regeln. Und sie hat ein Geheimnis: Sie kann sich im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes ¿in andere hineinversetzen¿. Sie selbst nennt diesen Vorgang ¿Napping¿. Elli entdeckt, dass Mick zusammen mit seiner Geliebten Vicky ihren Tod plant. Es beginnt ein Wettlauf mit der Zeit. Als Elli in ein geheimes Versteck entführt wird, versucht sie mit Pidder Kontakt aufzunehmen. Ein Verwirrspiel beginnt, bei dem immer wieder die Perspektive gewechselt wird. Die Leserinnen und Leser fragen sich gemeinsam mit Pidder: ¿Elli, bist düs?¿. Neben einer wilden Verfolgungsjagd durch die imaginäre Landschaft des ¿oberen Niederrhein¿ geht es vor allem um einen Roadtrip durch die Köpfe der Protagonisten. Im Mittelpunkt des Ganzen liegt Elli: die Frau, die sich von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite keinen Millimeter aus eigener Kraft bewegen kann. Im verzweifelten Versuch, ihr Leben zu retten, treibt sie die Handlung voran, mischt sich ein und sorgt auf vielfache Weise für Chaos.Bernd Stelter: ¿... eine abgefahrene Story, die sich immer weiter steigert. Ich bin begeistert, meine Frau auch!¿ https://youtu.be/RfPWhAhT_FQ

Skeletal muscles are organs of the vertebrate muscular system that are commonly connected to bones of the skeleton by tendons. They are present throughout the body and respond to stimuli by contracting. They are also found in the eye socket, tongue, upper esophagus and diaphragm. Skeletal muscles have a variety of functions, such as maintaining the position and posture of the body, nutrient storage, generating movement, joint stabilization, and regulating body temperature. These muscles comprise muscle and nerve fibers, connective tissue and blood vessels, which allow humans to move and carry out daily tasks. Additionally, they are also critical for breathing mechanics. The dysfunction in skeletal muscles can cause a variety of medical diseases ranging from dysphagia to tremors, myopathies, weakness, tendon ruptures, ataxia, etc. This book explores the recent studies on skeletal muscle physiology. It will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.

Homeostasis refers to the ability of an organism to keep the body's internal environment within bounds that enable the organism to survive. Chemical regulation, thermoregulation and osmoregulation are the primary types of homeostatic regulations that occur in the body. Muscle regeneration is the ability of an adult muscle to regenerate damaged fibers and it represents an essential homeostatic function. It is an extremely coordinated program, which partly mimics the embryonic developmental program. It also includes the activation of the muscle compartment of stem cells, specifically satellite cells as well as other precursor cells. The activities of these cells are dependent on environmental signals. Muscle regeneration can be hampered by a number of pathological conditions either because of the increasing loss of stem cell populations or due to the absence of signals that prevent damaged tissues from effectively activating a regenerative program. Thus, it is possible that losing control over these cells will result in pathological cell differentiation. The topics included herein on muscle regeneration and homeostasis is of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.

Neurorehabilitation refers to a type of medical procedure that helps in the recovery from injuries to the nervous system and neurological conditions. It can be used to treat progressive neurological conditions such as tumors, Parkinson's disease and dementia. Neurorehabilitation assists patients in rapid recovery and maximizing their functional and cognitive capacities after the acute stage of brain injury treatment is over. Therapeutic treatments, remediation treatments, psycho-education, cognitive treatments and compensatory treatments are some of the treatment options used in the neurorehabilitation process. New technological advancements in this field have resulted in the development of improved imaging techniques which enables better assessment. Video games and virtual reality are also seen as potential options for promoting cerebral development and rehabilitation. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to neurorehabilitation. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.

Skeletal muscles are organs found in the vertebrate muscular system that are usually connected to skeleton bones through tendons. It is the most abundant tissue in the human body and it is longer than other muscle tissues. It also has a strong innate ability to repair tissue damage occurred through an accident or degenerative illnesses, like muscular dystrophy, and regenerate new muscle fibers. Satellite cells and myogenic progenitors located between the muscle fiber membrane and the basal lamina are primarily responsible for regeneration. Skeletal muscles have the ability to regenerate and repair themselves following a trauma in a sophisticated and well-organized manner. This process requires the existence of varied cell populations, the up and down regulation of different gene expressions, along with the involvement of numerous growth agents. The topics in this book on the regeneration of skeletal muscles are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. The readers would gain knowledge that would broaden their perspective in this area of orthopedics.

A condition that affects the human skeletal system, making bones weaker and vulnerable to fractures is termed as a bone disease. There are several types of bone diseases including osteoporosis, metabolic bone diseases, fracture, stress fracture, bone cancer and scoliosis. Osteoporosis is one of most common bone conditions that cause a loss of bone due to weakened bones. Metabolic bone diseases lead to abnormal bone mass or structure caused by deficiency of a mineral or vitamin. Scoliosis is an abnormal condition in which there is side to side curvature of the spine that results in S- or C-shaped curvature when seen from behind. A number of factors such as age, occupation, environmental factors and genetics play a significant role in bone diseases. The risk of osteoporosis increases in people having low sun exposure and deficiency of vitamin D. The symptoms of these diseases include joint stiffness (arthritis), decreased range of motion, fatigue, and whole body symptoms (rheumatoid arthritis), etc. Physical activity can prove beneficial in the treatment and management of bone diseases. From theories to research to practical applications, case studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to bone diseases have been included in this book. It will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.

Biomechanics refers to the study of motion, structure and function of mechanical aspects of biological systems, at the cellular level or the level of organism as a whole. The movement in organisms is regulated by motor control, which comprises directed movement and reflexes. The integration of multimodal sensory information from proprioception and the external environment is needed to control the movement. The nervous system generates necessary signals for the muscles to carry out a specific task. Motor control is significant in organisms for interacting with external world, to carry out required activities, as well as for stability, posture and balance. In humans, all the movements require motor neurons to trigger action potentials, which cause the contractions of required muscles. The coordination of muscles is triggered by the impulses sent by motor cortex towards the motor units. This results in production of movements by a subset of muscles contracting in precise pattern temporarily for generating force at the right time. This book contains some path-breaking studies on biomechanics and motor control. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and post graduate students.

The spinal cord is a thin, long and tubular structure made up of nervous tissue. It extends from the medulla oblongata in the brainstem to the lumbar region of the vertebral column. Impairment to the spinal cord results in temporary or permanent changes in its functioning. There are several symptoms of spinal cord injury (SCI), such as loss of muscle function, loss of sensation and difficulty in breathing. An X-ray, MRI or CT scan might be utilized to evaluate whether or not there is damage in the spinal column and the place wherever it is situated. The treatment of SCI concentrates on the prevention of additional injury and helping persons suffering from SCI to lead an active and productive lifestyle. Some conditions of SCI can be managed with medications, to relieve muscle stiffness and pain in addition to medications for improving sexual functioning, bladder control and bowel control. This book is meant for students who are looking for an elaborate reference text on the diagnosis and treatment of spinal cord injuries. It will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this field.

Orthogeriatrics refers to a subspecialty that was created in response to social, clinical and financial requirements for managing patients with fragility fractures. It is a multidisciplinary and integrated approach for the treatment of fracture patients who require surgical intervention. In patients who are unable to walk, hip fracture surgery can be seen as a palliative process with the aim of pain control. The evidence base for hip fracture care is strongest in orthogeriatrics. A mutual understanding, regard and trust of the roles among orthopedic surgery and geriatric medicine are necessary for the delivery of effective orthogeriatric care. It increases the standard of patient care and achieves a suitable level of clinical optimization throughout the perioperative period. It also reduces the length of hospital stays as well as hospital mortality, while achieving significant cost savings in the management of this medical condition. This book covers in detail some existent theories and innovative concepts revolving around the surgical procedures related to orthogeriatrics. Medical professionals and students actively engaged in this field will find it full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
