Introduction
Written by Dr Brian Pentland, Head of Rehabilitation Studies Unit, University of Edinburgh,with contributions from Scott Glickman FRCS, Senior Lecturer and Honorary Consultant in Rehabilitation Medicine.
This booklet is intended to provide general information on paralysis. It has been written to answer some of the questions asked by people who are affected by paralysis, as well as for their families and carers.
However, because the condition affects each person differently, it is important that you speak to your own GP or to the doctor or nurse who is looking after you since they are in a position to offer advice and information to meet your own specific needs.
