Translational Sports Medicine covers the principles of evidence-based medicine and applies these principles to the design of translational investigations. This title is an indispensable tool in grant writing and funding efforts with its practical, straightforward approach that will help aspiring investigators navigate challenging considerations in study design and implementation. It provides valuable discussions of the critical appraisal of published studies in translational sports medicine, allowing the reader to learn how to evaluate the quality of such studies with respect to measuring outcomes and to make effective use of all types of evidence in patient care. In short, this practical guidebook will be of interest to every medical researcher or sports medicine clinician who has ever had a good clinical idea but not the knowledge of how to test it. Readers will come to fully understand important concepts, including case-control study, prospective cohort study, randomized trial and reliability study. Medical researchers will benefit from greater confidence in their ability to initiate and execute their own investigations, avoid common pitfalls in translational sports medicine, and know what is needed in collaboration.

Die regulative Schmerztherapie ist mit ihren physiologisch begründeten aufeinanderfolgenden Interventionen spezifisch auf die Verhinderung bzw. Behandlung von chronischem Schmerz ausgerichtet. ¿In diesem Buch wird die gesamte nicht pharmakologische Therapiekette von möglichen Interventionen vorgestellt. Es werden dabei passiv provozierte Maßnahmen zur Schmerzlinderung und Durchblutungsförderung beschrieben, mit dem Ziel die Gewebeverhältnisse als Grundlage der Schmerzinformationen zu verbessern. Zudem werden aktive Methoden vorgestellt, z. B. das Beweglichkeitstraining von Gelenkregionen und andere aktive therapeutische Belastungsinterventionen, die den Körper in eine anti-nozizeptive Reorganisation bringen können. Das Buch ist somit ein Leitfaden für die nicht-medikamentöse Schmerztherapie und die medizinische Rehabilitation aller chronisch nicht entzündlichen und entzündlichen Erkrankungen und kann auch bei onkologischen Krankheiten angewandtwerden. Als Zielgruppe werden Physiotherapeuten, Sporttherapeuten und Ärzte angesprochen, die Schmerzpatienten betreuen.

This user-friendly, pragmatic book discusses the normal and pathological conditions of the appendicular skeleton, with a focus on the preservation of joint function, providing a detailed overview of strategies for both common and complex joint preservation.The first section covers basic topics, ranging from joints homeostasis and biomechanics, to genetics, bio-orthopedics, tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting. The following sections are each dedicated to a specific joint - its functional anatomy, pathologic conditions, diagnostics and treatment.This book is of interest to orthopedists and sports medicine specialists treating common and complex injuries of the joints.

In this highly practical guide, acclaimed physical therapist and international lecturer Daniel Lawrence dispels some of the myths around cupping therapy and shows how it deserves to be viewed as a highly credible and versatile therapeutic tool in modern practice

Ideal for all practitioners of musculoskeletal medicine, this practical pocket guide provides a standardized approach, through detailed checklists and protocols, for a complete ultrasonographic examination of the musculoskeletal system to assist in the diagnosis and management of orthopedic and sports medicine pathologies. As the trend in the US healthcare system continues to move towards optimizaing value in care delivery, the utilization of ultrasound has been in the spotlight as a cost-efficient and accurate diagnostic modality for musculoskeletal pathology  Ultrasound assessment remains user-dependent, and multiple pathologies can often be overlooked due to the lack of a standardized approach to assess a specific joint or anatomic structure. To address this challenge, this user-friendly text presents a quick, accessible, and structured approach for a complete sonographic examination. After a general overview of the use of ultrasound in musculoskeletal medicine, each chapter proceeds anatomically and includes a detailed, step-by-step approach to the ultrasound diagnostic assessment, covering all major joints and pathologies of clinical importance: shoulder, elbow, hand and wrist, hip, knee, and foot and ankle. Plentiful images support this stepwise approach, covering the entire spectrum from patient positioning to ultrasound findings and appearance.  Students, residents, and fellows in orthopedics and sports medicine will find this text especially valuable, however all healthcare providers dealing with the diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal conditions will benefit from its clear and concise approach.

Sudden death in athletes is a global problem. Although it is a relatively rare phenomenon (1/100,000 persons), when it does occur, it is often as an incomprehensible event. In fact, it strikes subjects who presumably should be much healthier than the general population. In the previous 20 years, many authors have studied this problem in an attempt to understand the causes and prevent these events, and it has been determined that, in the vast majority of cases, athletes who die suddenly have an underlying heart disease (arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, coronary anomalies, channelopathies, etc.).In most cases these diseases do not produce major symptoms and do not preclude sports activity even at the highest levels, although they do increase the incidence of sudden death. How to discover these diseases in asymptomatic athletes is a hotly debated issue. In particular, there is controversy as to whether all athletes should undergo detailed medical screening, including electrocardiogram, or whether the costs of this screening are too high in relation to the event incidence. The purpose of this book is to accurately analyze the causes of sudden death in athletes and to provide cardiologists and sports physicians with useful tips on how to identify at-risk individuals. 

This book focuses on the benefits of exercise for prevention and treatment of chronic brain disorders.  It is a guide for finding the right exercise routine for each individual.  The goal is to show the reader why everyone needs to exercise, especially as we get older.  The brain needs physical exercise both for normal health and for preventing and treating diseases common with aging.How much exercise is needed?  As we see throughout the book there is no one fits all rule with regard to the amount of exercise required.  The key is to make exercise a part of one's daily routine.  The beneficial effect of exercise is transient, lasting days to weeks, so it must be a lifelong pursuit.  Can we exercise too much?  Anything done in excess can potentially be dangerous but with the common sense approach outlined in this book anyone, regardless of underlying health condition, can find some type of exercise that is safe and effective.
