With a dynamic text and video combination, Therapeutic Exercise for Musculoskeletal Injuries, Fourth Edition (Enhanced Version), presents foundational information that instills a thorough understanding of rehabilitative techniques. With the latest in contemporary science and peer-reviewed data, this enhanced e-book prepares upper-undergraduate and graduate students for everyday practice while serving as a referential cornerstone for experienced rehabilitation clinicians. The integrated resource details what is happening in the body, why certain techniques are advantageous, and when certain treatments should be used across rehabilitative time lines. Integrated video demonstrates some of the more difficult or unique techniques.
The content featured in Therapeutic Exercise for Musculoskeletal Injuries aligns with the Board of Certification’s (BOC) accreditation standards and prepares students for the BOC Athletic Trainers’ exam. Author and respected clinician Peggy A. Houglum incorporates more than 40 years of experience in the field to offer evidence-based perspectives, updated theories, and real-world applications.
The fourth edition of Therapeutic Exercise for Musculoskeletal Injuries has been streamlined and restructured for a cleaner presentation of content and easier navigation. Additional updates to this edition include the following:
• An emphasis on evidence-based practice encourages the use of current scientific research in treating specific injuries.
• Full-color content with updated art provides students with a clearer understanding of complex anatomical and physiological concepts.
• 40 integrated video clips highlight therapeutic techniques to enhance comprehension of difficult or unique concepts.
• Clinical tips illustrate key points in each chapter to reinforce knowledge retention and allow for quick reference.
The unparalleled information throughout this enhanced e-book has been thoroughly updated to reflect contemporary science and the latest research. Part I includes basic concepts to help readers identify and understand common health questions in examination, assessment, mechanics, rehabilitation, and healing. Part II explores exercise parameters and techniques, including range of motion and flexibility, proprioception, muscle strength and endurance, plyometrics, and development. Part III outlines general therapeutic exercise applications such as posture, ambulation, manual therapy, therapeutic exercise equipment, and body considerations. Part IV synthesizes the information from the previous segments and describes how to create a rehabilitation program, highlighting special considerations and applications for specific body regions.
Featuring 40 integrated video clips, more than 830 color photos and more than 330 illustrations, the text clarifies complicated concepts for future and practicing rehabilitation clinicians. Case studies throughout part IV emphasize practical applications and scenarios to give context to challenging concepts. Most chapters also contain Evidence in Rehabilitation sidebars that focus on current peer-reviewed research in the field and include applied uses for evidence-based practice. Additional learning aids have been updated to help readers absorb and apply new content; these include chapter objectives, lab activities, key points, key terms, critical thinking questions, and references.
Therapeutic Exercise for Musculoskeletal Injuries, Fourth Edition, equips users with comprehensive material to prepare for and support real-world applications and clinical practice. Readers will know what to expect when treating clients, how to apply evidence-based knowledge, and how to develop custom individual programs.
