Summary
 
  Summary

The case studies in this book use authentic injury assessment examples to help readers link theory and clinical practice with the goal of becoming competent clinicians. The situations are realistic and present more than 130 of the injuries that athletic trainers may encounter in the real world. The questions that accompany the cases ask readers to identify clinical and differential diagnoses, critique the evaluating clinician's actions, recommend treatment, comment on ethical choices, and make many of the decisions they will face in the field. The cases encourage readers to think and problem solve; evidence-based answers (for select cases in the text and for all cases in the instructor's manual) ensure that the recommended clinical decisions are based on the best available research, clinical expertise, and patient preferences rather than on anecdotal practice.

Key Features

Each case study includes a variety of questions to foster critical thinking and allow practice in choosing the path of diagnosis and treatment.

Select cases in the book include answers to the questions; a companion book (available to instructors upon adoption) includes all of the answers.

Anatomical overviews in each chapter provide a useful review of the body area being discussed.

The cases are organized by area of the body and can be used for certification exam preparation or assigned as homework, discussed in class, or used for role playing.

The scenarios cover a wide range of situations, including injuries sustained during athletics, recreation, and military bootcamp; occupational accidents; and others.

The cases were developed using the clinical proficiencies of the National Athletic Trainers' Association-Education Council and will help future athletic trainers prepare for the BOC Certification Examination.
