Recenzje

'This volume does not pretend to be comprehensive. However, it contains an enormous amount of information that is not readily available elsewhere. The volume is particularly valuable for its discussion of theories of spinal cord damage and recovery ... also valuable for its practical advice on many different topics. It should be read and re-read by Neurologists and all those who look after patients with spinal cord disorders.' R. Langton Hewer, Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, June 1993
