| Abstract
|
:
|
Medical advances have made it possible for those with spinal cord injuries to live an essentially normal life span, and to lead full, meaningful and productive lives. Inevitably, however, spinal injury superimposes special considerations on the routine activities and passages of life, and activities that might once have been easy can in many cases become increasingly difficult. This book identifies medical and nonmedical problems that individuals with SCI face as they get older, while providing practical advice on how to tackle these challenges.
