Opis

Accounting for the majority of sports-related disorders, injuries
of the skeletal muscles have been difficult to define, classify, and treat
mainly due to a lack of scientific background and missing guidelines. Now,
for the first time, readers will find full coverage of muscle anatomy,
physiology, diagnosis, imaging, treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention
in one comprehensive volume. It includes a standardized
terminology and new classification system, both based on

a consensus conference that
took place in 2011 in Munich. Special Features:

• 
  Written by top international sports medicine
  physicians who have more than 35 years of
  experience treating competitive athletes, including the German national soccer team

• Emphasizes practice-oriented content with a scientific foundation

• 
  Shares dozens of case studies that highlight injury assessment, pitfalls, and
  complications
• Provides more than 500 vivid, full-color illustrations
  and photographs, including detailed
  anatomic diagrams and tables

At a time when athletic muscle injuries have increasingly become the
focus of research and clinical studies, especially due to their frequency
and impact on player absence, this book makes an enormous
contribution to the field. It is essential reading for all sports
medicine physicians, residents and fellows, physical therapists, coaches, and
other practitioners involved

in caring for
athletes.
