The spinal cord is a vital part of the central nervous system; even
a small injury can lead to severe disability. In the US, there are
approximately 230,000 people living with traumatic spinal cord
injury (SCI), with over 10,000 more becoming disabled each year.
Learning to live with SCI can be a challenge to any individual,
caregiver or family. To improve their ability to cope, everyone
involved must understand how the body responds to a spinal cord
injury, and educate themselves about treatment and management
issues. "Spinal Cord Injury," the newest title in the critically
acclaimed "American Academy of Neurology Press Quality of Life
Guides," is an authoritative and reliable resource for any patient,
family member or caregiver looking to inform themselves on this
topic.
Written in easy-to-understand language, this excellent overview of
spinal cord injury and its treatment, is essential reading for all
patients desiring a better quality of life, and for family members
and caregivers who need a better understanding of this condition
and its effects. This informative book explains the anatomy of the
spine, the results of injury and the treatment and management
issues encountered during rehabilitation. It contains a glossary
with commonly used terms, and website resources that can aid in
further research. In addition, it includes current research to help
SCI patients make informed medical decisions that promote optimum
healing.
"Spinal Cord Injury" will help patients, caregivers, and family
members cope with SCI and enjoy a better quality of life.
