A
thorough understanding of peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs)
is necessary for clinicians who manage the medical care of
athletes and decide when an athlete may return to competition.
This comprehensive, detailed text will help you identify PNIs
in their earliest stages and prevent the complications that
can develop when these injuries are not diagnosed and treated
correctly.
Peripheral
Nerve Injuries in the Athlete, featuring contributions
from leading sports medicine physicians, is aimed at teaching
you the necessary skills for early recognition of neurological
deficit as a result of sport injury. You’ll gain an
understanding of basic neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of
neurologic injury and recovery; which PNIs are associated
with what sport; and available diagnostic procedures, their
limitations, and when they should be ordered.
Peripheral
Nerve Injuries in the Athlete is designed to show you how
to accurately diagnose PNIs and how to understand the difference
between movements inherent in sport activities and movements
resulting from injury. Part I of the book includes six chapters
devoted to the anatomy, etiology, and diagnosis of PNIs that
can affect athletes (including “industrial athletes”);
and part II focuses on the prevention and rehabilitation of
PNIs.
Peripheral
Nerve Injuries in the Athlete also provides information on:
• physiology of nerve injury
• regeneration and recovery
• the role of electrodiagnostics in diagnosis and treatment
• the role of bracing, orthotics, and the biomechanical
modifications in preventing injury and reinjury
Helpful
case reports are included in part I to illustrate how you
can apply what you’ll learn to real-life situations.
In addition, tables listing innervations of peripheral muscles
and joints act as ready references in discerning which muscles
and nerves should be addressed during rehabilitation.
Peripheral
Nerve Injuries in the Athlete is a comprehensive resource
that will provide you with the necessary foundation for detection,
diagnosis, management, and treatment of PNIs.
