title: Cost containment in sports rehabilitation.
abstract: Defining high-quality care and cost-effectiveness is not an easy task. In this article, the authors describe several strategies that have practical applicability for the clinician treating patients with sports-related injuries. Integration of some of these strategies may allow the more quality-based, cost-efficient use of available resources in sports rehabilitation.
