Perrin and McLeod present a guide for instructors and an aid to students of athletic training on both the anatomical architecture of the major joints, and the techniques of taping, bracing, and casting them. They focus on the techniques that athletic trainers are most likely to apply in clinical practice, so as not to overwhelm students with information that can pick up gradually as they need it. After an introduction, they cover the foot, ankle, and leg; the knee; the thigh, hip, and pelvis; the shoulder and arm; the elbow and forearm; and the wrist and hand.
