Examination of Musculoskeletal Injuries

Examination of Musculoskeletal Injuries, Fourth Edition, guides current and future athletic trainers and rehabilitation professionals through the examination and evaluation of musculoskeletal injuries both on and off the field. The text presents injury examination strategies in on-site, acute, and clinical settings and provides the information on mastering the skills needed for the Board of Certification examination for athletic trainers as determined by the sixth edition of Athletic Training Role Delineation Study/ Practice Analysis for entry-level athletic trainers.

This updated fourth edition includes the following enhancements:

• A new online video library contains 51 short video clips that correspond to and demonstrate evaluation techniques for various musculoskeletal disorders found throughout the text.
• Full-color photos and medical artwork have been added throughout the text to clarify testing techniques and enhance knowledge of relevant body structures.
• Substantial updates provide the most recent evidence-based clinical information.
• An expanded selection of special tests and injury-specific examinations are now presented in a more accessible format and include a photo or video, description of the purpose, patient and clinician positions for the test, procedures performed, and possible outcomes.

To assist students, a web resource houses the robust video library and printable checklists forms, and tables that students can use in laboratory work and review sessions. Instructor ancillaries are also available online.
