This is the second in a sesries of books dealing with the enormous
clinical problem of spinal cord dysfunction. Volume I discussed
assessment; this book focuses on intervention. There are three main
approaches to the restoration of function after damage to the
spinal cord: the prevention of seconday pathological events; the
identification of impaired or absent functions in nerve cells and
processes that survive the initial injury; and restoration of
severed neuronal connections. This book addresses the first two of
these approaches. It contains a discussion of the arguments about
early decompression of the spinal cord following injury, therapy of
acute spinal injury, and the effects of early treatment and local
cooling on spinal cord blood flow. The management of specific
problems associated with spinal cord dysfunction is addressed;
these problems include cardiovascular abnormalities due to
autonomic dysfunction, bladder control, pain, and sexual function.
Current procedures of rehabilitation (particularly the management
of chronic problems and the treatment of complications) are
summarized, and ideas on motor control and learning are discussed.
