This unique book - the first of its kind exclusive on disorders of the scapula - is a concise but comprehensive summary of the evidence that will enable clinicians to understand the scapula from its functions to its dysfunctions and includes clinical guidelines and pearls to improve the clinician’s competencies for the treatment of shoulder disorders. Organized logically, the book opens with a review of the baseline mechanics and pathomechanics of the scapula, proceeds to evaluation, then describes in detail the association of the scapula with specific shoulder problems, including rotator cuff disease, labral injuries, glenohumeral and multidirectional instability, clavicle fractures, acro...
As clinical interest in overhead athletic injuries is on the upswing, so is greater interest in the factors for performance and injury risk in throwing and other overhead motion. This practical, case-based text is divided into two sections and will present the basic principles of overhead athletes followed by unique clinical case presentations describing different aspects of performance, injury and management in throwing and other overhead athletes. Part I discusses the mechanics and pathomechanics of the overhead motion, along with principles of evaluation, the physical exam, surgical management of both the shoulder and elbow, rehabilitation and return to play, injury risk modification, and...
This book will serve as a key resource for all clinicians working in orthopedics, sports medicine, and rehabilitation for the sport of tennis. It provides clinically useful information on evaluation and treatment of the tennis player, covering the entire body and both general medical and orthopedic musculoskeletal topics. Individual sections focus on tennis-related injuries to the shoulder, the elbow, wrist, and hand, the lower extremities, and the core/spine, explaining treatment and rehabilitation approaches in detail. Furthermore, sufficient sport science information is presented to provide the clinical reader with extensive knowledge of tennis biomechanics and the physiological aspects of training and rehabilitation. Medical issues in tennis players, such as nutrition and hydration, are also discussed, and a closing section focuses on other key topics, including movement dysfunction, periodization, core training, and strength and conditioning specifics. The expansive list of worldwide contributors and experts coupled with the comprehensive and far-reaching chapter provision make this the highest-level tennis medicine book ever published.
This book focuses on the specifics of rehabilitation, especially as they pertain to applied anatomy and biomechanics. Injuries are presented in a consistent pattern that is broken down into the tissue injury complex as well as the biomechanical alteration and functional adaptation that occur in the athlete.
This title focuses on such areas as: shoulder & upper extremity and sports medicine. Be ready to quickly recognize, assess, and minimize complications related to the management of common shoulder problems. This title helps to improve your ability to avert pitfalls with a better understanding of how problems develop. ""Pitfalls in the Management of Common Shoulder Problems"" begins with a focus on diagnostic pitfalls. Chapters then explore pitfalls related to specific problems, including impingement, instability, thrower's shoulder, proximal humerus fractures, acromioclavicular joint injuries, and clavicle fractures. Complications commonly encountered in rotator cuff surgery and shoulder arthroplasty are treated in separate chapters.

This book sets standards for testing athletes before they participate in sport and enlarges the scope of the traditional preparticipation fitness examination by: introducing a method of characterizing sports to show the differences in muscular demands; demonstrating testing procedures that show musculoskeletal deficiencies; and demonstrating how the individualized fitness profile can be used as a starting point for conditioning.
This addition to the Handbook series will allow the tennis coach, athlete, and medical professional responsible for their care to improve technique, training and performance, and to reduce the risk of injury. When injury does occur, Tennis will aid quick accurate diagnosis and treatment, and effective rehabilitation so that the tennis player can return to peak performance with the minimum of fuss.
