The Authors of this book are an Anatomist and a Sports Physiotherapist with wide experience of teaching both postgraduate and undergraduate courses related to sports injuries. Because of its critical location in the body and its many components, diagnosing, managing and rehabilitating sport-related back injury is extremely challenging and requires a detailed knowledge of the associated anatomy. This book reviews in detail the structure and functional anatomy of the back and its many components, emphasising those points which are relevant to sports injuries.
The book has three special features. Firstly, it focuses on the essential components of the back which must be in mind when solving sport injury problems and disorders. Secondly, the content has been assembled and distilled from various sources over and above what can be found in conventional textbooks of anatomy, to provide a level of understanding which is both academic and necessary for diagnosing and managing sporting back disorders.
Thirdly, throughout the book case studies and clinical reasoning of the associated problems are presented showing how knowledge of anatomy can be applied to solve many problems associated with sports injury.
The book is fully illustrated with line drawings, photographs of actual anatomical structures, scans and x-radiographs.
