A Quick Reference Manual of Athletic Injuries (Intended for use by High School Coaches and Studen Trainers)

Abstract

Injuries are common among athletes and the prompt evaluation and treatment of these injuries is essential. Many high schools do not have a certified trainer to care for their athletes, so a coach or student trainer attempts to serve in this capacity. This paper was written with them in mind. The purpose of this handbook is to supply a quick reference source for the management of common athletic injuries. It is not intended as a substitute for formal instruction (eg. Cramer's Student Trainer Course) but rather as a resource manual.
