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.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 617.48204 Al Checked In Add Copy to MyList
