Orthopaedic Pillow: Theory and Practice (EPUB)

This book, written by Shuori Yamada, shares clinical experiences and results spanning over 50 years on the theory and practice of using pillows. It focuses on pillow requirements that address sleeping posture issues and analyzes problems with existing pillows on the market. The book highlights how pillows can help with sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea syndrome, and orthopedic spinal illnesses. It also explains the significance of utilizing other physical elements like mattresses, comforters, nightwear, lighting, and temperature to create a conducive sleeping environment. The book addresses keeping proper sleeping posture.

The author and her father have examined over 120,000 patients and created a pillow adjustment technique since 1972. Based on these data sets, the authors have developed a method to identify the specific pillow height change that improves the patient’s condition. The book details the most recent development in the study and how professionals can incorporate the findings into their medical procedures to help their patients. The intended audience includes medical professionals who can use the technique and impart the knowledge to their patients, such as doctors, nurses, and engineers.
