Full Description
This book aims to improve knowledge of Exercise Induced Leg Pain (ELIP), exploring the most common nine EILP conditions such as Chronic exertional compartment syndrome, Tibial bone injury fracture, and Medial tibial stress syndrome. Each chapter is structured to provide historical background, questions about the onset of pain, key clinical signs and symptoms using case studies history to illustrate the conditions, and offers evidence-based management.
Exercise-induced Leg Pain in Sports critically evaluates the methods of assessing EILP, covering how to clinically reason and link the results of imaging and clinical evaluation to determine both a diagnosis and differential diagnosis to have a structured management approach. Filling a gap in the literature, this book appeals not only to sports physicians, orthopaedic surgeons, and physiotherapists but also to students, providing course-related information in various disciplines such as sports & exercise medicine and podiatric sports medicine.
