Customer Reviews

Excellent reference

This is a great reference for individuals involved in SCI rehab. There are detailed pictures for instruction of functional skills. The content is appropriate for students as well as experienced clinicians.

Great book!

Helpful illustrations. Certain techniques described have needed clarification or modification by professors in class, but I would still recommend it as a useful resource.

Graduate PT student

This book offers a very descriptive explanation of techniques used with SCI patients. It was very helpful in studying.

Spinal Cord Injury: Functional Rehabilitation (2nd Edition)

I found this book is very helpful in providing information in a concise manner without too much detail. It is a great reference book for spinal cord injury information at your fingertips as well as a great resource for board exam preparation. For the therapist not working in a spinal cord injury setting but needs information of this nature at hand, perfect book. Also provides up to date information on wheelchair assessments.
