CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.0 based on 4 reviews)

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.

Not much difference from older edition

I read both editions
The 2nd edition has 2 Chapters that one need to download tediously from another site
Content wise not much difference
Many major advances throughout recent years on SCI NOT included in this book
I regreted this buy since essentially most info are that of the first edition that I already have

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.
