Inhaltsangabe:

Offers step-by-step guidelines to develop a sound knowledge base and the skills required to effectively perform thorough and systematic injury assessments. The approach, which covers on-field, sideline, and off-field protocols, delivers specific evaluation skills for emergent, nonemergent, or post acute conditions. Schultz, Houglum, and Perrin (all of the U. of Virginia) present contributions by six leading athletic trainers that cover topics such as determining an accurate history of the injury, conducting effective visual inspections of the injured areas and related structures, palpating bony landmarks and soft tissues, assessing joint range of motion and mobility as well as neurological strength and functional performance, identifying when further testing and medical referral is needed, and knowing when to call for emergency medical care. Contains b&w photographs and drawings. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
