      abstract = {Taking a multidisciplinary approach to a common and often  frustrating problem for athletes and those with an active  lifestyle, this book is the first of its kind, addressing  muscular injuries to the posterior leg using an in-depth  and expansive style that is uniquely dedicated to ensuring  all content is explicitly linked to the practical care of  patients with calf pain. It is divided thematically into  three sections. The first section covers underlying  principles involved in these issues, including anatomy,  physiology, pathophysiology of injury and neurophysiology  of musculoskeletal pain. Clinical assessment techniques and  imaging are covered in the second section. The third  section on treatment is the most expansive, discussing  acute, sub-acute and chronic posterior leg muscle injuries,  as well as surgical management, rehabilitation techniques,  complementary medicine and special populations. Overall,  the book is designed to use muscular injuries of the  posterior leg to as a means to understand the assessment  and treatment of muscular injuries more broadly. Taken  together, it is the consummate source for orthopedists,  doctors in sports medicine, podiatrists, rehabilitation  professionals and primary care physicians who treat  muscular injuries in the posterior leg, though readers will  gain a conceptual and practical framework for the  assessment and treatment of muscular injuries in general.},
