Shultz (University of North Carolina-Greensboro) presents a text for students and professionals in rehabilitation. The text treats all content for this specialty set forth in the National Athletic Trainer's Association (NATA) Athletic Training Educational Competencies. The section on principles of examination is geared toward entry-level students, and covers history, observation, palpation, and examination of strength, motion, and neurological, cardiovascular, and respiratory status. The next section applies principles presented in Part I to examination of injuries and conditions in specific body regions. The final section offers three chapters on recognition of general medical conditions. Learning features include chapter summaries, review and critical thinking questions, and lab activities (new to this edition). This third edition contains expanded material on clinical decision making and problem solving, and improved chapter-opening scenarios. The art program offers b&w examination photos and two-color anatomical illustrations. A companion web site contains photos of skin ailments, examination checklists, and tables of range of motion, neurological conditions, and strength.
