Athletic and Orthopedic Injury Assessment

Each case study includes a variety of questions to foster critical thinking and allow practice in choosing the path of diagnosis and treatment.

Select cases in the book include answers to the questions; an instructor's manual (available to instructors upon adoption) includes all of the answers.

Anatomical overviews in each chapter provide a useful review of the body area being discussed.

The cases are organized by area of the body and can be used for certification exam preparation or assigned as homework, discussed in class, or used for role playing.

The scenarios cover a wide range of situations, including injuries sustained during athletics, recreation, and military bootcamp; occupational accidents; and others.

The cases were developed using the clinical proficiences of the National Athletic Trainers' Association Education Council and will help future athletic trainers prepare for the BOC Certification Examination.
