The distinguished editors of this volume are from three outstanding centers of high quadriplegia care: Craig Hospital in Colorado, the Santa Clara Valley Medical center in California, and The Institute for Rehabilitation and Research in Texas. They explore the many perspectives that must be integrated in the management of high quadriplegia in four major sections on acute care, rehabilitation, the process of discharge, and lifetime issues. Addressing the huge array of resources needed to treat these individuals, and including the expertise of physicians, nurses, physical, occupational, respiratory and recreational therapists, nutritionists, social workers, psychologists and others, this book is an unrivaled compendium to help those with high quadriplegia sustain and achieve a satisfying quality of life. It will be referred to constantly by all health care professionals involved in their care.
