...this unique reference is an in-depth examination of the central role of the physical therapist in rehabilitation following spinal cord injury...in-depth presentation of functional skills and functional training.

I can hear the sirens, but where is the ambulance? Just how strong did I think I was? I cannot feel my legs, but I am too scared to look and see if they can move. Pete is kneeling at my right side holding my hand and reassuring me that I will walk again. Heather and Jessie are at my left side holding my other hand. Mandy is inside the house too terrified to face what had just happened. My head is spinning in confusion. My completed manuscript titled "Spinal Cord Injury: My Life Beyond the Outhouse" tells about a fateful autumn morning that would change my life forever. It all started with journal entries I wrote when I was feeling sad or discouraged. Documenting my emotions seemed to help. The more I wrote, the easier it became to cope with the daily struggles and the easier it was to talk about. I then thought maybe I could make things easier for others by sharing what I've learned through my own experiences. I have been a medical secretary for five years and am currently working full time. I am a first time author who has spent over two years putting into words my journey as a paraplegic. The general guideline for a spinal cord injury is that the first two years are the most crucial for recovery; after two years the chances of recovery are much lower. This is why I chose to focus on this timeframe for the book. I myself did not regain any significant function, but I still hold on to the hopes that there is something promising in the future and that the body never stops trying to heal itself. In the meantime, I will live my life to the fullest of my ability and share what I can to help others.

Well organized and illustrated, this classic guide takes a problem-solving approach to teaching compensatory movements, improving vital capacity, increasing mobility, enhancing ROM, preparing for discharge, and conducting exercise classes.

All this time! 39 years. Ever since the beginning, people would say to me, “Wow, you should write a book.” They would engage me with questions about what happened. They wanted to know, and they still do. So, BECAUSE SOMEONE WILL ALWAYS ASK...I began one night to write this story that I have known so well. They say that everyone has a book in them. They have a story to tell. I never dreamed that my life story would be able to give hope to someone else. I knew it was amazing that I came back from a horrific injury, and thought it ended there. I have been wrong. People find it inspiring. They say, “that someone needs to hear this.”

"A stunning account."―Kirkus, starred review“This profoundly literate memoir of courage stuns and moves, and in its ferocious honesty, delights.”―Mark Medoff, Oscar-nominated screenwriter of Children of a Lesser GodTake It Lying Down is “a movingly intricate weave―a detailed and poetic chronicle of healing against all odds, an intense love story, a narrative of a young man’s journey from Maine to New Mexico and adulthood, and a book of literary inspiration and wisdom . . . this is not a medical book, not a self-help book: it’s a literate, occasionally theatrical, surprisingly buoyant, always philosophical and compelling journey through one man’s life.”―From the Foreword by Len JenkinSix months shy of retirement and on a family vacation in Mexico, Jim Linnell steps off the porch of a rented guest house and breaks his neck. He is medevacked to his hometown hospital in Albuquerque and from there to a spinal cord injury hospital in Denver, where he learns he may live the rest of his life as a quadriplegic. How does a person absorb such news?Jim’s injury is incomplete: He has a two-year window for improvement. After three months of rehabilitation at the hospital, he and his wife, Jennifer, return to their home with an armada of equipment for his therapy, a heavy dose of anxiety about how they will manage together, and many unanswerable questions: Will Jim get better? What kind of future will they have? Can they move past denial to accept the possibility that Jim may remain a quadriplegic?Take It Lying Down portrays a man reclaiming his life from catastrophe―it is a book of exemplary courage.

Informed by deep and enthusiastic underground music knowledge, Cortex were key in the ongoing musical narrative of Swedish punk and post-punk. The late frontman of Cortex, Freddie Wadling (1951-2016) is a legend of enormous stature in Sweden: he is revered on the level of, say, Captain Beefheart or Serge Gainsbourg, and has been a key influence for generations of Swedish artists over the past four decades. His work ranges from proto-punk to equilibrist jazz vocals, and the trajectory of his cult

"Spinal Cord Medicine" is the perfect resource for the medical specialist treating persons with spinal cord injuries. This comprehensive and practical resource provides detail about all aspects of spinal cord injury and disease. The initial seven chapters present the history, anatomy, imaging, epidemiology, and general acute management of spinal cord injury. The next eleven chapters deal with medical aspects of spinal cord damage, such as pulmonary management and the neurogenic bladder. Chapters on rehabilitation are followed by nine chapters dealing with diseases that cause non-traumatic spinal cord injury. A comprehensive imaging chapter is included with 30 figures which provide the reader with an excellent resource to understand the complex issues of imaging the spine and spinal cord. Key chapters discuss the consequences of spinal cord injury and the many approaches that can help patients return to the fullest possible participation in life. Not only is there a discussion of recreational and therapeutic exercise, but also an entire chapter is devoted to the assessment of a patient's ability to drive. The thorough discussion on the anatomy and mechanics of the spine include detailed drawings and postmortem specimens which clearly illustrate the critical anatomical components of spinal integrity and the ways in which spinal stability can be compromised by trauma or disease.

As stated in the preface to the first edition, the goal of this monograph is to provide an overview of current thought about the spinal cord mechanisms responsible for sensory processing. We hope that the book will be of value to both basic neuroscientists and clinicians. The organization of the monograph has followed the original plan in most respects, although the emphasis has changed with respect to many topics because of recent advances. In particular, a substantial increase in the number of investigations of the dorsal root ganglion has led us to devote a chapter to this topic. The treatment of chemical neuroanatomy in the dorsal horn, as well as the relevant neuropharmacology, has also been expanded considerably. Another major emphasis is on the results of experiments employing microneurography in human subjects. We thank Margie Watson and Lyn Schilling for their assistance with the typing and Griselda Gonzales for preparing the illustrations.

This multi-contributed text provides a review of basic and clinical anatomy of the spine and spinal nervous system. It goes beyond the traditional scope of anatomy texts to cover the functional, clinical, and radiographic anatomy of the spine. Case studies included.

With its unique clinical perspective and evidence-based coverage, Clinical Anatomy of the Spine, Spinal Cord, and ANS is the definitive reference for applying anatomic considerations to the evaluation and management of conditions of the spine and associated neural structures, including spinal impingement and subluxation.

This book systematically describes the angioarchitecture of the spinal cord. Microradiographs of superficial and intrinsic arterial supply and venous drainage patterns provide the anatomical basis needed to understand spinal vascular disorders. These post mortem studies are supplemented by clinical spinal angiographies and case studies.Rapid advances in imaging technology have facilitated the solution of many diagnostic problems concerning diseases of the spine and spinal cord. But this is less true for vascular diseases of the spinal cord or diseases secondarily involving them. Furthermore, safely using interventional procedures or open surgery still requires a profound knowledge of the vascular anatomy involved. Accordingly, a growing demand for training in this special field has become evident over the last 25 years, making improvement of this knowledge in all Neuro-Specialities dealing with diagnostic and therapeutic problems of spinal disorders a highly desirable goal.
