"This is by far the most comprehensive and user-friendly text for both professor and student! I am continuing to use it in my Athletic Training Program, and beginning next year, I will institute it into my PT courses in Ortho I & II." -- Vincent J. Hudson, MS, PT, ATC, MBA, University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL The combination of illustrations and precise language in this tightly structured 2nd edition make even the most complicated concepts and techniques clear. Organized by body region, each chapter starts with an review of anatomy and biomechanics, description of the clinical evaluation of injuries, discussion of pathologies and related special tests, and ends with a discussion of on-field or initial management of specific injuries. "I really liked the first text and this one is significantly improved. For example, the clinical findings boxes." -- Tom West, PhD, ATC, AT, Lock Haven University, Lock Haven, Pennsylvania "Much improvement in this edition. Separating c-spine into its own chapter really works well for my classes. Additional illustrations and evaluation maps make this a student friendly book. Dr. Starkey and Mr. Ryan have really created a book that serves the athletic training student." -- Micki Cuppett, EdD, ATC, University of Nebraska at Omaha "Much better layout of information! Text/charts/graphics are all in the same general area -- much improved over 1st edition." -- Paul Higgs, MEd, ATC, LAT, Georgia College and State University, Milledgeville, Georgia 978-0-8036-1129-0 / 0-8036-1129-3.
