Description
Wolters Kluwer | Lippincott Williams and Wilkins Musculoskeletal Pain Basic Mechanisms And Implications by GRAVEN-NIELSEN T
Musculoskeletal Pain: Basic Mechanisms and Implications presents state-of-the-art research into the peripheral and central neurobiological mechanisms in musculoskeletal pain. Presented in three main sections, this publication will update the reader on the clinical perspectives in musculoskeletal conditions; muscle, joint, bone, and fascia nociception; and translational musculoskeletal pain and quantitative models.
