Product Description
Review
"The book is an overview of sports injuries. The main aim is to provide a working knowledge of sports injuries to students and newly qualified physiotherapists, and to act as a memory jogger for the more experienced clinician.
...the book is well illustrated and tabulated. There is a list of references at the end of each chapter for those who wish to investigate further. The book is easy to read and is very logical in its layout. book provides a basic introductory text on sports injuries. It is ambitious in its remit, as it attempts to cover in less than 500 pages a wide range of topics both directly and indirectly related to sports medicine.... the subsections on management and rehabilitation following injury are useful and clearly presented."British Journal of Sports Medicine, 33: 289, January 1999
author has a user friendly writing style and the layout of the book is ideal for reference...I would recommend it to physiotherapists interested in or actively involved in treating sports people."Physiotherapy in Sport, February 1994
book provides a good basic reference for undergraduates or postgraduates just becoming involved in sports medicine. It is clearly written and well organised with easy to find points of reference."Physiotherapy, April 1996
Product Description
This completely updated and extended edition of the highly successful and practical handbook, Sports Injuries: diagnosis and management provides the most comprehensive single source for the management of soft-tissue injuries.
Designed and written for clarity, the book provides an equal balance of scientific information and clinical guidance, emphasizing an evidenced-based approach. Divided into 20 chapters the book covers biomechanics of injury, tissue healing, sports massage, taping, exercise therapy and training, first contact management, gait and detailed coverage of sports injuries to the upper limb, lower limb and trunk. Well referenced and extensively illustrated, this greatly expanded and revised text will continue to be invaluable to physiotherapists, chiropractors, osteopaths, sports and massage therapists, medical practitioners, coaches, trainers and all those involved in the treatment of athletes and sports people.
