Secure TransactionBook Description
Athletic Training and Therapy highlights contemporary concepts not often found in other introductory texts, such as cultural literacy, interprofessional practice, preventative health care, administrative management, special populations, and epidemiology. Students gain a complete picture of their role as an athletic trainer as they explore these topics and progress through the text.
Part I covers foundational clinical competencies that will guide students in their future professional practice. Part II features holistic wellness concepts and proactive strategies to prevent illness and injury. Part III presents emergency interventions for acute injury and immediate care. Part IV offers information on evaluating illness and injury. Part V addresses therapeutic and medical interventions, including therapeutic exercises, pharmacology, and casting procedures.
The full-color text engages students and fosters comprehension with learning aids:
- Evidence-Based Athletic Training sidebars that highlight a position statement, systematic literature review, or high-level randomized control trials
- Foundational Skills sidebars that provide step-by-step instructions for common skills required of entry-level athletic trainers
- Chapter summaries of key concepts
- Learning objectives to help students focus their studies during their graduate education and during preparation for the BOC examination
