Balance

Balance - postural kontrolgiver en indføring i at forstå begrebet balance og postural kontrol, idet næsten alle menneskelige aktiviteter stiller krav til balancen. Hvis en patient har haft en skade, vil en balanceundersøgelse ofte være relevant, og tilsvarende indgår balancetræning meget ofte i rehabiliteringen.Bogen anlægger både et biomekanisk og et sansemotorisk perspektiv, og der gives principper for undersøgelse af balanceevnen samt for træningen. I denne forbindelse inddrages en gennemgang af den nyeste viden om hjernens plasticitet, og der gennemgås specielle forhold vedrørende svimmelhed og ældre menneskers faldrisiko.Målgruppen er primært fysioterapeutstuderende og de færdiguddannede fysioterapeuter, men andre med interesse for balance kan også have stor gavn af at læse bogen.

Leadership isn't black or white. It's a balance. In a world that demands certainty, the best leaders are those who can hold tension-between confidence and humility, reason and emotion, action and reflection. They don't chase simplistic answers. They navigate complexity with clarity. In Balance: Beyond Binary, maritime CEO Bj rn H jgaard delivers a bold and timely manifesto for modern leadership. Drawing from a career that spans stormy seas and high-stakes boardrooms, H jgaard shares hard-won insights into what it really takes to lead with integrity, nuance, and purpose in an uncertain world. This is not a book of formulas. It's a book of lived experience-deeply personal yet broadly relevant. Through gripping stories, sharp philosophical reflections, and candid admissions of failure and growth, H jgaard invites readers into the real work of leadership: the constant balancing act between opposing forces. Inside, you'll explore: Why confidence without humility is dangerous-and how to cultivate both How to act decisively without becoming impulsive What it means to lead with principle, even when the pressure to perform is overwhelming How presence, pain, and paradox shape character Why good leadership is less about answers and more about framing better questions Written in a crisp, accessible voice, Balance: Beyond Binary is not just for CEOs. It's for anyone who finds themselves in a position of influence-team leaders, founders, professionals in transition-who understands that real leadership starts with self-awareness and ends with impact. Whether you're: an experienced executive looking to sharpen your edge without losing your soul a rising leader facing complexity for the first time or a thoughtful reader curious about what leadership looks like behind the curtain... This book is your compass. It doesn't promise easy answers-but it will challenge your assumptions, sharpen your instincts, and strengthen your resolve to lead with clarity, consistency, and courage. Bj rn H jgaard is a global maritime leader and CEO with decades of experience navigating both ocean storms and boardroom crises. A former ship captain and current head of one of the world's largest ship management companies, he brings a rare perspective on leadership, responsibility, and the discipline of balance. He began his career as a deck officer with A.P. Moller-Maersk, served as CEO of Univan Ship Management, and later led the merger that formed Anglo-Eastern Univan Group. Known for his principled yet pragmatic leadership style, Bj rn has championed innovation, crew welfare, and sustainability across a fleet of over 700 ships and thousands of seafarers worldwide. Raised in Denmark and based in Hong Kong, he combines Scandinavian clarity with global business acumen. His writing blends the rigor of experience with the humility of reflection-drawing on everything from ancient philosophy to modern boardroom dynamics. Beyond shipping, he is a speaker, mentor, and advocate for ethical leadership in complex systems.

Dette er 2. udgave af Balance – postural kontrol , som giver en indføring i balancebegrebet og introducerer til undersøgelse og træning af den posturale kontrol. Næsten alle menneskelige aktiviteter stiller krav til balancen. Og når man som sundhedsprofessionel analyserer bevægelser i både sport og daglige aktiviteter, vil det også omfatte en balancevurdering. Hvis en patient har haft en skade, vil en balanceundersøgelse oftest være relevant, og tilsvarende indgår balancetræning meget ofte i rehabiliteringsforløb. Bogen anlægger både et biomekanisk og et sansemotorisk perspektiv på den posturale kontrol. Der er fokus på såvel individuelle faktorer som på omgivelsernes og bevægelsesopgavens betydning for balancen. Balance relateres til den nyeste viden om hjernens plasticitet og specielle forhold vedrørende svimmelhed. Der gives principper for undersøgelse af balanceevnen, relevante træningsøvelser samt ældre menneskers faldrisiko. Balance – postural kontrol er især henvendt til fysioterapeutstuderende, men andre, der har brug for et teoretisk udgangspunkt for deres arbejde med balance, vil også kunne hente stor inspiration i bogen. I 2. udgave har bogen gennemgået en revision især med fokus på de kontekstuelle forhold og balanceudfordringerne i dual-task-situationer. Kapitel 7 og 8 er fornyet, hvor den tætte sammenhæng mellem hjernens udvikling, den neurale plasticitet og balancetræning er understreget yderligere, og hvor der er medtaget flere eksempler på balanceøvelser. Kapitel 9 om svimmelhed er også fornyet og udvidet – især er der prioriteret anvisninger på kliniske test og behandlingsforslag.

Although vital to our well-being and even to our success as a species, the physical sense of balance has never attained the same recognition as sight, hearing, touch, smell, or taste. Now, with an epidemic of debilitating falls sweeping America's aging population, the time is ripe for a lively and illuminating tour of the human body's most exquisitely intricate and least understood faculty. BALANCE is the first book written for a general audience that examines the mysteries of the human balance system--the astonishingly complicated mechanisms that allow our bodies to counteract the force of gravity as we move through space. A scientific, historical, and practical exploration of how balance works, BALANCE also provides the keys to remaining upright for as long as humanly possible. From simple motion sickness to astronauts' "space stupids," and from fetal somersaults to the Flying Wallendas, McCredie guides readers on a delightful quest to elevate balance to its rightful place in the pantheon of the senses.
