Titled Therapeutic Exercise for Musculoskeletal Injuries in previous editions, the revised title supports the advancement of the field and better reflects the concepts and understanding of total rehabilitation of the patient. The content featured in Rehabilitation of Musculoskeletal Injuries aligns with the accreditation standards of the Board of Certification (BOC) and prepares students for the BOC athletic trainers' exam. Respected clinician Peggy A. Houglum, who has more than 50 years of experience in the field, leads the expert author team to provide evidence-based perspectives, updated theories, and real-world applications. The latest edition is enhanced with contributions from new authors Daniel E. Houglum and Kristine L. Boyle-Walker, who have over 54 combined years of experience as athletic trainers, physical therapists, and instructors.

The fifth edition of Rehabilitation of Musculoskeletal Injuries places a greater emphasis on higher-order skills. Although it continues to present therapeutic exercise interventions, added content includes the other aspects of rehabilitation that would be applied to patients in clinical situations, including therapeutic interventions of modalities. Specific aspects of examination that are necessary to designing a rehabilitation program are also included. This edition also includes a new section on joint manipulation and a new chapter on functional adaptations in rehabilitation that focuses on providing emotional support as well as physical support in helping patients return to activities of daily living. Video content is expanded with 11 new clips that highlight therapeutic techniques, and more than 450 color photos and 750 illustrations help to enhance comprehension and clarify complicated concepts.

Rehabilitation of Musculoskeletal Injuries, Fifth Edition, provides thorough coverage of healing concepts, examination, and assessment techniques, ensuring students move from a solid understanding of the foundational skills and knowledge required of clinicians to comprehension of advanced problem-solving skills to make reliable rehabilitation decisions. The text demonstrates how to create rehabilitation programs using various modalities, manual therapy, and therapeutic exercise, and it highlights special considerations and applications for specific body regions.

Learning aids include case studies that emphasize practical application, Evidence in Rehabilitation sidebars that focus on peer-reviewed research and its practical application, and Clinical Tips that illustrate key points in each chapter. Additional learning aids include chapter objectives, lab activities, key terms, critical thinking questions, and references. For maximum flexibility to match course needs, instructors wanting to teach specific topics can adopt particular chapters or sections of the book through the Human Kinetics custom ebook program.
