Reseña del libro "The Skiing Injury Field Guide (en Inglés)"
Skiing rewards preparation, and it punishes a body that shows up in November without it. The Skiing Injury Field Guide: Alpine and Nordic, From Preseason to Powder Day helps alpine and cross country skiers understand the demands of the mountain, recognize common injury patterns and ask better questions about care. Physician Steven E. Warren writes from Utah ski country with the recreational and older skier in mind. He covers the knee and the ACL, skier's thumb, shoulder injuries from falls, head injury and helmets, and the back and hips. He also addresses altitude, cold and fatigue, the end of day run, and the warning signs that mean you should stop and get checked. The guide walks through preseason conditioning, equipment and binding checks, warm up on the hill, and returning to the snow after injury or surgery. A safety check before you ski helps readers think about readiness before the first chair. Written for skiers and useful to the clinicians who care for them, this book encourages thoughtful preparation and individual assessment rather than skiing through every symptom. This is an educational guide, not a personal diagnosis, treatment prescription or guarantee against injury. Return to sport decisions should reflect your condition and your clinician's advice.
