Fully updated and revised, the second edition of Spinal Cord Injury
is the definitive guide for people with SCI and their families.
Combining first-person accounts with up-to-date medical
information, the book addresses all aspects of spinal cord injury
-- recovery and coping, sex and family matters, transportation and
housing, employment and leisure -- and reviews the challenges
encountered by people with spinal cord injury throughout their
lives.
The authors explain how spinal cord injury affects physical
functioning and the impact of physical changes on emotions and
social life. They offer a holistic approach to recovery that
incorporates all aspects of living and emphasizes achieving optimal
health, personal fulfillment, and meaningful family and social
relationships.
The new edition of this helpful book includes a completely
revised chapter on recovery and regeneration research, stem cell
research, and activity-based therapies. New information is offered
on medical and rehabilitative care of children and adolescents as
well as preventative health measures for people of all ages living
with spinal cord injury. The book includes expanded ideas and
resources for socializing, travel, sports and recreation.
