Organized by body region, this text uses a visual format to present clinically applicable techniques for evaluating and treating injuries experienced by athletes. Each chapter reviews the
anatomy and biomechanics of specific injuries, and provides guidelines for diagnostic tests, imaging techniques, functional limitations, immediate action, medications, surgical interventions,
and postoperative management. Explanations use a combination of black and white photos, illustrations, medical images, and detailed instructions. Consisting of 24 contributions, the fourth
edition adds therapeutic exercises for the lower extremity, upper extremity, spine, and torso. Annotation 穢2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
