"The 3rd Edition of this popular work has been completely revised and updated to bring you all of the field's most current knowledge in an even easier-to-use new design. Its superb combination of detailed illustrations and precise language make even the most complicated concepts and techniques clear. Organized by body region, each chapter begins with a review of anatomy and biomechanics; proceeds through clinical evaluation, pathologies and related special tests; and concludes with a discussion of on-field or initial management of specific injuries." "Text conforms to or exceeds the Athletic Training Educational Competencies. - Distinctive boxes for each type of test, including goniometry, resisted range of motion and manual muscle tests, clinical tests, and special tests, are well-illustrated with photographs and line drawings. - Evaluative Findings boxes summarize clinical findings for specific injuries or conditions. - Observational Findings boxes help students to identify specific conditions or injuries."--Jacket
