Description
The first goal in this edition of the book remains as in the first edition - to cover the broad issues involved in the care of the spinal cord injured patient. The second goal is to provide an evaluation of spinal cord injury by experts who are deeply involved with various aspects of spinal cord injury management. Included in this new and revised edition are chapters devoted to three significant areas of development, particularly upper limb reconstruction, the use of electrical stimulation, and neuronal preservation after ischemic injury. New chapters review the state of exercise, standing, and walking systems using electrical stimulation, and the important and emerging topic of neuronal preservation after ischemic injury. The scope of this book includes: - diagnostic methods
- evaluation methods
- spinal cord injury
- pathophysiology
- medical/surgical management
- rehabilitation
- and issues of specialized care
This book is a compendium of otherwise difficult to assemble knowledge replete with time tested methods as well as with contemporary developments in the form of new ideas, techniques, and concepts.- return to top -
