Written by a multidisciplinary team of experts from the University of
Washington/Harborview Medical Center, this volume is the first
comprehensive clinical reference on trauma rehabilitation. The book
brings together, in one concise, cohesive source, all the essential
practical information from physiatry, orthopaedics, neurosurgery,
general surgery, emergency medicine, rehabilitation nursing, physical
therapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, and
prosthetics/orthotics.
Chapters cover traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, multiple
musculoskeletal trauma, traumatic amputations, peripheral nerve
injuries, and burns. Particular attention is given to early
rehabilitation interventions during the acute phase. A chapter on
special considerations for pediatric patients is also included.
