Discussion:
As the patient with a brain injury progresses in his hospitalization, the physiatrist is faced with coordinating the patient’s rehabilitation treatment not only with acute care clinicians, but also with a variety of rehabilitation professionals. The Rehabilitation of People with Traumatic Brain Injury is a portable reference for resident physicians, physiatrists and other professionals interested in the treatment of patients who have sustained a traumatic brain injury. Because the nature of brain injury is a dynamic process, the monograph is organized to help conceptualize rehabilitation care along a continuum from coma to community re-entry. There are chapters on neuropharmacology, cognitive rehabilitation, behavioral management, spasticity, pediatric traumatic brain injury, and community reintegration, as well as illustrations and medication tables.
