Spinal Injury and Stroke Rehabiliation

Starting from the pathophysiology of stroke and spinal cord injury and the anatomical context of the brain and spinal cord, this book describes the changes, complications, systemic involvement, medical and surgical management of stroke and spinal injury patients. It focuses not only on the neuromuscular rehabilitation but also discusses multi-system rehabilitation management. With an international author group with vast collective experience in the field, the book examines secondary changes and involvements like urological, GI, cognitive, respiratory, speech & language and occupational and incorporates recent advances in Western spinal cord injury and stroke rehabilitation science, along with global perspectives.
