Beschreibung
As clinical interest in overhead athletic injuries is on the upswing, so is greater interest in the factors for performance and injury risk in throwing and other overhead motion. This practical, case-based text is divided into two sections and will present the basic principles of overhead athletes followed by unique clinical case presentations describing different aspects of performance, injury and management in throwing and other overhead athletes.
Part I discusses the mechanics and pathomechanics of the overhead motion, along with principles of evaluation, the physical exam, surgical management of both the shoulder and elbow, rehabilitation and return to play, injury risk modification, and the role of the scapula. Unique clinical cases comprise all of part II and follow a consistent format covering the history, exam, imaging, diagnosis and outcome of the chosen intervention. These cases illustrate a cross-section of sports and activities, from the baseball player to the swimmer, and a range of shoulder and elbow problems in pediatric and adult overhead athletes

“The target audience is clinicians wishing to learn more about the care of overhead throwing athletes. … Others that might find this to be a useful include physical therapists and athletic trainers. ... This is a core book for those looking to learn about and manage injuries in the overhead throwing athlete. It is a book that I enjoy having in my personal library and will use as a reference in my practice for the management of these patients.” (C. Craig Rudy, Doody's Book Reviews, November 08, 2019)
