Metabolic Influences on Risk for Tendon Disorders

This book will be of considerable interest to students, practitioners (Doctors, Physiotherapists) and researchers who deal with the complex structures of tendons and tendon disorders. The book is divided into three sections: (1) Basic Biology; (2) Metabolic Disorders; and (3) Biochemical Markers and Tendon disorders. The first section, devoted to the basic biology of tendons, is aimed at those people who want to learn and gain basic information on tendons. The section on metabolic disorders will mainly be aimed at practitioners who need to know how to treat their patients. Finally, the section on biochemical markers is chiefly aimed at the researchers who are planning new studies within this field.
