The Shoulder: Theory & Practice presents a comprehensive fusion of the
current research knowledge and clinical expertise that will be essential
for any clinician from any discipline who is involved with the
assessment, management and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions
of the shoulder.
This book is a team project-led by two internationally renowned
researchers and clinicians, Jeremy Lewis and César
Fernández-de-las-Peñas. Other members of the team include over 100
prominent clinical experts and researchers. All are at the forefront of
contributing new knowledge to enable us to provide better care for those
seeking support for their shoulder problem. The team also comprises the
voices of patients with shoulder problems who recount their experiences
and provide clinicians with important insight into how better to
communicate and manage the needs of the people who seek advice and
guidance.
The contributing authors include physiotherapists, physical therapists,
medical doctors, orthopedic surgeons, psychologists, epidemiologists,
radiologists, midwives, historians, nutritionists, anatomists,
researchers, rheumatologists, oncologists, elite athletes, athletic
trainers, pain scientists, strength and conditioning experts and
practitioners of yoga and tai chi. The cumulative knowledge contained
within the pages of The Shoulder: Theory & Practice would take decades
to synthesise.
The Shoulder: Theory & Practice is divided into 42 chapters over three
parts that will holistically blend, as the title promises, all key
aspects of the essential theory and practice to successfully support
clinicians wanting to offer those seeing help the very best care
possible. It will be an authoritative text and is supported by
exceptional artwork, photographs and links to relevant online
information.
