Medical Conditions in the Athlete, Third Edition With Web Study
Guide, equips health care providers with the information they need
to develop a framework for decision making when working with
injured and recovering athletes and active populations. The updated
and streamlined third edition provides comprehensive medical
information that assists health care providers and athletic
trainers in recognizing and identifying underlying and potentially
serious medical conditions that may affect their chosen course of
treatment. The highly esteemed authors, Katie Walsh Flanagan and
Micki Cuppett, have combined their professional skills and
educational expertise to revitalize the content of Medical
Conditions in the Athlete, Third Edition, with current,
research-driven assessment and treatment information for medical
conditions that affect the physically active population. The
updated content aligns with Board of Certification (BOC) and
Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE)
standards. The book addresses medical conditions by body system,
their mechanism of acquisition, signs, symptoms, differential
diagnoses, referral, treatment, and return-to-participation
criteria. The 18 comprehensive chapters are organized into three
sections: Introduction to Medical Conditions, Pharmacology and
Interventions, and Medical Conditions by System. Throughout the
text, more than 380 updated, full-color illustrations and
photographs visually enhance readers' comprehension of anatomy,
physiology, and pathophysiology. Pharmacological tables organize
drugs by categories that include generic and trade names,
therapeutic uses, adult dosage information, and possible adverse
effects. Important terminology is highlighted throughout the
chapters, and a glossary appears at the end of the text. At the
beginning of the text, a Condition Finder serves as a quick
reference so health care providers can easily flip to the
information they need on specific conditions. Throughout the book,
learning aids draw attention to important facts and figures,
presented in three practical categories: * Red Flags are warning
signs that health care providers should look for when working with
clients. * Clinical Tips discuss information that is critically
important to professionals. * Condition Highlights cover specific
medical conditions common to athletes that require special
attention or medical care. New to this edition is an accompanying
web study guide that houses case studies corresponding to specific
chapters. Each case study is followed by questions to help students
apply the strategies covered in the text. Instructors who adopt the
text will have access to a comprehensive collection of ancillary
materials: chapter quizzes, a presentation package of slides, and
an image bank that can be used to enhance presentation slides or
student handouts. Medical Conditions in the Athlete, Third Edition
With Web Study Guide, provides readers with research-driven
assessment and treatment information for medical conditions that
affect all types of athletes. It is a comprehensive textbook and an
important reference for health care providers such as athletic
trainers and physical therapists who work with active populations.
