Spinal cord injury (SCI), and in particular cervical SCI, remains a
devastating and catastrophic event for patients, their families and
society, often producing severe and permanent disability. Moreover,
the emotional and psychological consequences of coping with a
disabling injury can be profound. SCIs are very often permanent,
yet potentially preventable. Despite significant medical and
technological advances in recent years the overall mortality for
spinal injury patients remains largely unchanged. Understanding the
epidemiology, aetiology, medical and psychological factors
associated with cervical spinal cord injury remains crucial in
order to advance our knowledge on the identification of such
devastating injuries, their possible prevention and ultimately on
how to best manage the widespread physical, social and
psychological effects of SCI at an individual and societal level.
This book endeavors to describe the epidemiology of cervical spinal
cord injury and to summarize some of the primary outcomes
associated with this type of injury. We devote chapters to such key
topics as: Operative and non-operative outcomes following SCI;
whiplash injury; neurological, respiratory, gastrointestinal and
urinary complications post cervical SCI and the psychological
impact of cervical SCI; among others. This book does not provide an
exhaustive background on the area of cervical spinal cord injury
but rather compiles key information on the most commonly associated
comorbid issues accompanying cervical spinal cord injury and
encapsulates it to provide an accessible account of some principal
topics relating to this particular type of SCI.
