Peter Brukner and Karim Khan and others
ISBN: 9781743761380
Claiming to be the 'cornerstone' text on all matters relating to sports and exercise medicine, Brukner and Khan's book, is, without doubt one of the world leaders in this area. Used by clinicians from a variety of professions, it was one of my key texts while studying physiotherapy at university, and remains a central component in every student's reading list.
The text provides a thorough exploration of and guide to the world of physiotherapy and musculoskeletal medicine. Aspects covered include diagnosis, injury assessment and management, working in a sports environment and the role of the sports clinician. The information is presented in a concise fashion, and pictures complement the instructions provided in the text.
A key feature is the quality of the authors. Physiotherapists and doctors working at the top of their fields provide valuable insights on contemporary sports injury management. Several CSP members, including Adam Meakins, Phillip Burt and Lawrence Mayhew, have contributed to or written chapters.
This latest edition features more evidence-based content than its predecessors. This enables the various authors to cover the latest developments in the sports medicine arena, but also to supply guidance and information that can be applied in non-sporting settings. There are more than 300 new figures and tables, as well as six new chapters looking at topics such as:- training programming and prescription
- return to play
- pain: the clinical aspects
