Synopsis

Essentials of Athletic Injury Management provides the information you need to manage the care of athletic injuries―from prevention, identification and assessment of injuries to interaction with players, parents and physicians.

Action plans, checklists and applications of universal precautions in athletic environments are included to provide the practical tools needed to get started in the field.
