About this title

Synopsis

Developed in conjunction with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and written for students in professional athletic training and therapy programs, Musculoskeletal Assessment in Athletic Training and Therapy provides a comprehensive overview of the many injuries impacting the extremities, and the assessments and examinations Athletic Trainers should conduct to accurately diagnosis and treat each injury. Unit I “Foundations” introduces the student to the foundations of examination, evaluation, and musculoskeletal diagnosis, providing a helpful recap of relevant medical terminology along the way. Units II and III then delve directly into the lower and upper extremities, reviewing relevant anatomy, discussing common injuries, and discussing their assessment.
