spinal cord injuries books and literature
	
	
		
 Hello,
 
I have recently been rotated to a clinical rehab area which also caters for spinal cord injury patients. Would any one recommend any good up-to-date literature and books please? as I only have a very old edition of "Tetraplegia and paraplegia: a guide for physiotherapists" by Ida Bromely and I need to brush up my theory and skills. Is the new revised edition as good as it looks? I also found "Management of spinal cord injuries: a guide forphysiotherapists" by Lisa Harvey, is it any good? Are there any texts you have found useful?
 
Thank you all!!

		Here's some published reviews on the Lisa Harvey Title: Management of Spinal Cord Injuries - A Guide for Physiotherapists 								
 						Published Reviews
 						"This book fills a need and should become a motivation for  physiotherapists in their clinical practice and reasoning and  development...The book is extremely well referenced throughout with  up-to-date material and so provides current supporting background to the  clinical reasoning of practice.I would recommend this book."
Dot Tussler MSc MCSP, 27.4.08
"It  will not just be valuable for students and junior therapists but also  for academics in higher education to help deliver the core knowledge in  this field. This book can also serve as a reference guide in a specialty  unit owing to its wide coverage of the various aspects of this complex  topic...In summary, with its excellent referencing back to literature,  pointers on prioritizing therapy in such a task-intensive condition, and  acknowledgment of limitations in the evidence base, this is an honest  and very helpful book."

"The book provides the student, and physiotherapists of all experience levels, with a wealth of information. As an
experienced  clinician there was much in this text which I found stimulating and  informative. The breadth of the content is extensive."
