Tendon Injuries

توضیحات

Standard textbooks of anatomy, physiology, pathology, orthopedic surgery, and sports medicine provide little information on tendons. Tendon ailments are increasingly prevalent in orthopedic surgery and sports medicine, and in occupational and family medicine as well.

This book provides a comprehensive presentation on human tendons for a wide range of readers, from students and teachers of physical education, biomechanics, medicine, and physical therapy to specialists such as orthopaedic surgeons, pathologists, and physicians specializing in sports medicine. We describe the current principles of diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of tendon injuries and disorders. Although we acknowledge that these principles are constantly changing, this book gives readers the tools presently available to the scientific and biomedical community to tackle tendon problems. This book has been conceived to be used as a comprehensive source for physicians, surgeons, physical therapists, chiropractors, sports coaches, athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and students in a variety of disciplines.

The book is definitely a medical book, but with appeal to professionals outside the medical field.
