Injury Prevention and Rehabilitation for Active Older Adults explores the issues involved in working with active older adults. In doing so it helps sports medicine professionals prevent, diagnose, and treat injuries in this population. Readers will be able to

  • strengthen their understanding of general issues in sports medicine for active seniors;

  • explore prevention of, and determine treatment for, specific injuries;

  • apply to their own practice the knowledge of specialists experienced in working with older populations; and

  • implement and supervise appropriate conservative therapies.

The result is a reference that facilitates understanding of the issues involved in preventing and treating injuries in active older people and in helping them recover and return to full activity as soon as possible.
