Product Description:
Spinal cord injury, or SCI, is frequently sudden and unexpected—through accident, disease, or violence, patients temporarily lose control of their bodies and, it seems, their lives. With rehabilitation, they can learn to navigate their world once more, retraining muscles and mind to compensate for paralyzed limbs and diminished strength. But as Dr. Michelle Alpert shows here, there is far more to recapturing full, independent lives than regaining movement. Central to long-term success is mending the family unit.
Combining Dr. Alpert’s clinical experience with patients’ own stories, Spinal Cord Injury and the Family is for individuals and their families who must climb back from injury: for the young quad couple, both quadriplegic, who wish to conceive and raise a child; for the paraplegic dad who wants to teach his daughter to drive; for the couple wondering how they can regain the sexual spark in their relationship.
The authors cover the causes of and prognosis for SCI through case studies, review common courses of rehabilitation, and answer the “what now?” questions—from daily routines to larger issues concerning sex, education and employment, childbearing, and parenting with SCI. Rich in clinical information and practical advice, the book shows how real patients and their families are living full lives after spinal cord injury.

Summary: Spinal Cord Issues
Rating: 5
The work provides guidance on coping strategies for
patients and their families faced with chronic
spinal cord issues. The thrust of the volume seeks
to get patients reconnected to life meaningfully.
The book points out that this generation is more
patient and tolerant than previous ones with regard
to spinal injuries.
The challenges to patients are multi-dimensional.
For instance, psychological and emotional issues are
involved. Each case requires its own mix of support
systems. Coping strategies may vary. Patients often
divorce due to the insurmountable difficulties.
The author does a good job of defining spinal cord
injuries and practical coping strategies for the
management of the same. The book is priced reasonably.
