Examination of Musculoskeletal Injuries 5th Edition With HKPropel Access

Examination of Musculoskeletal Injuries, Fifth Edition With HKPropel Access, guides athletic trainers and health care professionals through the examination and diagnosis of musculoskeletal injuries, both on and off the field. Integrating updates from the fifth edition of the Athletic Training Educational Competencies, the text addresses several areas of clinical practice that students must master to pass the Board of Certification (BOC) examination. The text also includes a significantly expanded online video library that now contains more than 240 video clips that clearly demonstrate evaluation techniques so that students can see firsthand how to perform each assessment.

From introductory skills for injury examination to specific techniques to be used for examining each region of the body, Examination of Musculoskeletal Injuries will teach students to obtain an accurate injury history from the patient, inspect the injury and related areas, palpate both bone and soft tissues, assess motion control and function, and examine neurological and cardiorespiratory status. The text includes special tests that are used to assess different structures and to rule out or diagnose injuries for that region. Strategies are offered for examinations that occur immediately after an injury as well as those that are seen later in a clinical setting. Full-color photos and medical artwork clarify testing techniques and enhance knowledge of body structures. Updates in this fifth edition include the following:

• An extensive video library with more than 190 new videos, for a total of 243 videos showcasing range of motion, muscle testing, and special test techniques
• The addition of 35 new special tests and injury-specific examinations: instructions; photos and videos demonstrating how to perform them; and sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios to help drive a clinician’s choice in test and support the clinician’s diagnosis
• A new exploration of the latest concussion examination techniques, including the Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT), with a video that allows readers to observe and practice the SCAT
• A section on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for each body region; a quick reference table features the most recommended PROMs and information on what they help assess

In addition to video, other related online tools that support student learning are delivered through HKPropel. Checklists, tables, and forms assist in the examination of range of motion, strength, and neurological function. New case studies help students understand the clinical application of examination techniques. Lab activities and key term flash cards help students engage with the content. Key concepts, review questions, and critical thinking questions foster better understanding and retention, while chapter quizzes can be assigned by instructors to assess student comprehension.

Examination of Musculoskeletal Injuries, Fifth Edition, is an essential resource for examining and differentiating the pathologies encountered in musculoskeletal systems. It will prepare athletic training students for certification and guide any clinician or therapist in diagnosing musculoskeletal injuries.

Note: A code for accessing HKPropel is included with all new print books.
