Athletic Accidents and Rehabilitation

About The Book

Every physical activity teaches us something new, improves some aspect of our health, and gives us the confidence and energy to carry on with our lives with joy. However, there is also the risk of physical harm from engaging in sporting activities. An injury can range from being very small to being catastrophic enough to destroy a person's career or even jeopardise their lives. Whether in the heat of competition, during routine practise, or in the off season, an athlete is always at risk of injury. The rising popularity of fitness and sports has led to an increase in the number of sports injuries experienced by both professional and amateur athletes. In order to reach its readers, the present study uses straightforward English to describe in detail a wide range of sports and injuries, including those affecting the foot and ankle, knee, hip flexors, hip joints, shoulders, head, forearm muscles, wrist joints, arm muscles, elbow joints, pelvis, calves, etc. This book, aptly titled Sports Injuries and Rehabilitation, covers every angle of the subject. The book makes use of straightforward organisation and plain English throughout. The authors of this book hope that it will be of value to a wide variety of readers, including clinicians, physiotherapists, athletes, students, teachers, and the general public.
