1. Psychosocial Effects
Recovering from a spinal cord injury is often an emotional rollercoaster. This chapter will explore the psychosocial and emotional hurdles that the individual faces as the realization of the extent of their injury is understood.
2. Family Roles and Relationships
Recovery from a spinal cord injury is a journey that is most successful with the support of family and friends. This support may come in the form of assisting with physical deficits or addressing emotional needs. This chapter will explore family involvement during the rehabilitation process, adjustment period, and planning for the future.
3. Transitions
The recovery from a spinal cord injury can be long, challenging, and filled with hopes of functional recovery. This chapter will discuss the transitions of care facing the patient and family as the spinal cord injured person moves beyond the acute hospitalization phase into their new reality.
4. Community Reintegration
The ultimate goal of rehabilitation is to integrate individuals back into the community to lead a productive and meaningful life. This chapter reviews how vocational, financial, and community resources promote community reintegration and assist the patient to move on with his/her life.
5. Aging with SCI
Due to advances in medicine, the life expectancy for someone with a spinal cord injury is slightly less than the average non-spinal-cord-injured adult. People are now living 30-plus years post injury, something unheard of in years past. The aging process brings additional medical and physical challenges that the individual needs to overcome. This chapter will address problems that result from the aging process.
