Basketball Sports Medicine and Science

This book is designed as a comprehensive educational resource not only  for basketball medical caregivers and scientists but for all basketball  personnel. Written by a multidisciplinary team of leading experts in  their fields, it provides information and guidance on injury prevention,  injury management, and rehabilitation for physicians, physical  therapists, athletic trainers, rehabilitation specialists, conditioning  trainers, and coaches. All commonly encountered injuries and a variety  of situations and scenarios specific to basketball are covered with the  aid of more than 200 color photos and illustrations. Basketball Sports  Medicine and Science is published in collaboration with ESSKA and will  represent a superb, comprehensive educational resource. It is further  hoped that the book will serve as a link between the different  disciplines and modalities involved in basketball care, creating a  common language and improving communication within the team staff and  environment.
