Description
Thoroughly revised and updated, with a new editor and additional contributors, the Third Edition of "The Injured Athlete" remains the standard-setting guide to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of athletic injuries and rehabilitation of injured athletes. It provides encyclopedic coverage of the full range of athletic injuries and includes complete descriptions of pre-participation examinations, prescriptions for training programs, instructions for fitting protective equipment, and guidelines for drug testing. Illustrations and photographs - many of them new to this edition - complement the text throughout, showing injury mechanisms, disrupted anatomy, diagnostic methods, and treatments. The Third Edition features new chapters on the back, principles of therapeutic exercise, therapeutic modalities, and preparation for athletic participation. Coverage of head, neck, and maxillofacial injuries has been greatly expanded. Chapters on the shoulder, the torso, hip, and thigh, the knee, the leg, ankle, and foot, and medical concerns of the athlete have been completely rewritten.
