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 sheer complexity and quantity of issues we face in the early stages of spinal cord injury easily overwhelm. These experts have provided a reassuring resource that helps people with recent injuries and their families gain their bearings during a time of great change. This book shines light on their path ahead, whatever is to come."
(Gary Karp, author of Life on Wheels: For the Active Wheelchair User)"This is an essential book for patients, family members, students, and healthcare providers. It is a quick, easy read that demystifies the recovery process after a spinal cord injury."
