The purpose of this book is to provide public health, disability,
and rehabilitation professionals and practitioners evidence-based
science with respect to health disparities faced by people with
disabilities, especially people with mobility limitations;
alternative methods of rehabilitation and exercise science for this
population; assistive device technology; and, improved access to
health care, employment, and social participation. According to the
National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and
Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR), approximately 57 million
Americans live with a disability. Disability severity and types
vary considerably, such that each individual with a disability
faces unique physical, social, and environmental barriers in order
to enjoy quality of life and full participation in society. A large
research literature shows that people with disabilities face
substantial employment and health disparities compared to people
without disabilities. People with mobility limitations often
experience secondary conditions to compound their primary
disability. Hollar (2013) and Hollar and Lewis (2015) showed that
people with mobility limitations were significantly more likely to
experience obesity and lack of access to physical exercise. Other
studies have shown that access to proper physical examination
facilities and equipment remain a substantial barrier in many
clinics and hospitals despite the enactment of the Americans with
Disabilities Act 25 years ago. Research on alternative exercise
programs and new assistive device technologies offers promise to
improve physical functioning and exercise for people with mobility
limitations. Furthermore, increased focus on biopsychosocial over
traditional medical models for disability will help policymakers
and the public to recognize the complex, contextual issues (e.g.,
personal, social, environmental) that affect the lives of people
with disabilities. Readership includes public health practitioners
and educators, disability and rehabilitation researchers,
clinicians and sports medicine practitioners, and disability
advocates. There have been general handbooks on disability, but
advances in technology and alternative exercise programs, as well
as novel disability health programs, are dispersed in the research
literature. This book will help to highlight these programs for
health policy experts, especially given the high health and social
disparities experienced by this population.

The Multiple Inert Gas Elimination Technique (MIGET) is a complex
methodology involving specialized gas chromatography and
sophisticated mathematics developed in the early 1970's.
Essentially, nobody possesses knowledge of all its elements except
for its original developers, and while some practical and
theoretical aspects have been published over the years, none have
included the level of detail that would be necessary for a
potential user to adopt and understand the technique easily. This
book is unique in providing a highly detailed, comprehensive
technical description of the theory and practice underlying the
MIGET to help potential users set up the method and solve problems
they may encounter. But it is much more than a reference manual -
it is a substantial physiological and mathematical treatise in its
own right. It also has a wide applicability - there is extensive
discussion of the common biological problem of quantitative
inference. The authors took measured whole-lung gas exchange
variables, and used mathematical procedures to infer the
distribution of ventilation and blood flow from this data. In so
doing, they developed novel approaches to answer the question: What
are the limits to what can be concluded when inferring the inner
workings from the "black box" behavior of a system? The book
details the approaches developed, which can be generalized to other
similar distributed functions within tissues and organs. They
involve engineering approaches such as linear and quadratic
programming, and uniquely use mathematical tools with biological
constraints to obtain as much information as possible about a
"black box" system. Lastly, the book summarizes the hundreds of
research papers published by a number of groups over the decades in
a way never before attempted in order to marshal the world's
literature on the topic and to provide in one place the wealth of
important discoveries, both physiological a nd clinical, enabled by
the technique.
In this work the development of a new geometrically detailed finite
element head model is presented. Special attention is given to
sulci and gyri modelling, making this model more geometrically
accurate than others currently available. The model was validated
against experimental data from impact tests on cadavers,
specifically intracranial pressure and brain motion. Its potential
is shown in an accident reconstruction case with injury evaluation
by effectively combining multibody kinematics and finite element
methodology.
This eye-opening study adds to the scarce scholarly literature on
professional athletes, bringing empirical rigor to issues often
clouded by mystery and hearsay. It identifies socioeconomic,
demographic, and career variables as risk factors for mortality
among former NBA and NFL players, along with hypotheses to be
tested relating to elite athletes and other U.S. populations. A
detailed multivariate analysis compares mortality factors, rates,
and outcomes within and between the two leagues, comparing them
also with the general U.S. male population. The findings and
conclusions gleaned from this research offer possibilities for
future research to improve health and quality of life in this
specific athlete cohort, among athletes in general, in other
groups, and in the larger society. Potential risk factors analyzed
in this groundbreaking study: * Race * Body Mass Index (BMI) * U.S.
birthplace region (Northeast, West, Midwest, South) * Years of
playing experience * Playing position Mortality and Its Risk
Factors among Professional Athletes will spark interest among
professionals and researchers in public health, sports medicine,
and epidemiology; current and former NBA and NFL players, their
families, coaches, trainers, and union representatives;
non-professional basketball and football players, athletes from
other sports, and their families, coaches, and trainers; social
scientists; policymakers; obesity researchers; parents of children
who play contact sports; students, teachers, and researchers in
occupational health and racial disparities; and health care
providers.

This new edition reflects the explosion of knowledge in basic
science and clinical care for athletes with mild traumatic brain
injury or concussion. Interest in management and methodology for
making diagnoses and improving the clinical outcomes have changed
dramatically. All U.S. states have laws dictating how sports
concussion patients are cared for and require return to play
decisions be coordinated with best practice methods. Epidemiology,
classification, and biology of sports concussion, as well as, brain
imaging,assessment tests, neuropsychological measures, and
management strategies are covered. Illustrative clinical cases,
correlative examples, and historical insights are featured.

This book addresses the application of infrared thermography in
sports, examining the main benefits of this non-invasive,
non-radiating and low-cost technique. Aspects covered include the
detection of injuries in sports medicine, the assessment of sports
performance due to the existing link between physical fitness and
thermoregulation and the analysis of heat transfer for sports
garments and sports equipment. Although infrared thermography is
broadly considered to be a fast and easy-to-use tool, the ability
to deliver accurate and repeatable measurements is an important
consideration. Furthermore, it is important to be familiar with the
latest sports studies published on this technique to understand its
potential and limitations. Accordingly, this book establishes a
vital link between laboratory tests and the sports field.
A comprehensive summary of sport-related concussion for parents,
coaches, and athletes that considers the physics behind the injury,
identifies what can be done to reduce the risk of its occurrence,
and describes how to respond to a suspected concussion. Concussion
injury among athletes continues to be a subject of great concern.
Increasing attention and research is focusing on the most
vulnerable of athletes-children. What strategies can be taken to
best protect young athletes in sports from grammar school football
leagues to high school hockey and soccer teams from concussion? How
do we treat youngsters who suffer head injuries in sports? What are
the ethical considerations in allowing children to play such
sports, given the risks to still-developing brains? In this updated
and expanded guide, William Meehan, MD, explains simply and clearly
how coaches, parents, and others who work with young athletes can
recognize concussion; best help children and youths recover from
concussion injuries; and take steps to become proactive to prevent
concussion. Readers will learn what causes a sport-related
concussion; what happens to brain cells during a concussion; and
why concussion, which in the past was dismissed as a trivial
injury, is taken so much more seriously now. The book explains how
to decrease the risk of concussion; addresses the potential for
cumulative effects from multiple concussions, including chronic
traumatic encephalopathy; and discusses the ethical dimensions of
deciding whether an athlete with multiple concussions should
continue to participate in high-risk sports. Provides a detailed
but easy-to-understand, jargon-free explanation of types of trauma
and the forces that result in a concussion as well as what happens
to brain cells when the brain suffers a concussion Presents the
facts about sport-related concussion and the potential for
cumulative effects of sport-related concussions, including a
discussion about chronic traumatic encephalopathy Informs athletes,
parents, and coaches about ways in which to prepare for a possible
concussion, how to respond to a potential concussion, and steps to
take to decrease the risk of a concussion injury
