The Shoulder in Sport: management, rehabilitation and
prevention is a multidisciplinary approach by opinion leaders
and specialists in the pathology of the shoulder at different
levels (diagnostic, medical, surgical and rehabilitative therapy of
articular, muscle and tendinous pathologies).
The book is divided into five sections. The first and second
sections provide introductory topics, such as anatomical
variances of the articulations and soft tissues, the biomechanics
of the shoulder, diagnostic imaging and specialist and
functional examinations. The third section is dedicated to
the description of surgical solutions in acute articular, muscle
and tendinous pathologies. Rehabilitation and prevention are
described in the fourth section, where the authors present
exercises of post-surgical rehabilitation, techniques of mobilizing
in manual therapy and the load multidimensional model. The
last two chapters in this section are dedicated to prevention,
especially of chronic pathologies, using intervention influencing
programmes, methodology of training and information on how
to rectify incorrectly performed movements. The last section
is dedicated to the use of surface electromyography. This
method is used to register muscular activity during training;
the description contains practical information and a number of
references of clinical interest.
