Abstract "Since the last edition of the textbook, the field has continued to grow at an unprecedented rate. The field has seen continued changes in the epidemiology of spinal cord injury (SCI), updates to the classification (International Standards for Classification of SCI); newer concepts on surgical intervention post-injury; greater understanding and clarification of prognoses after injury; new medications and surgical interventions to treat medical complications; and technological advances that are transforming imaging techniques and rehabilitation. The fourth edition incorporates expanded sections on nontraumatic disorders affecting the spinal cord, merged certain chapters together to minimize duplication, and continues to follow the blueprint of the subspecialty examination for board certification in Spinal Cord Injury Medicine. Although space constraints limit the inclusion of every aspect of Spinal Cord Medicine, the most significant advances and innovations have been selected. As such, this new edition consists of seven sections and 48 chapters with hundreds of figures and tables"-- Provided by publisher.
