Paraplegia - New Insights reviews different and complementary aspects of one of the most common and catastrophic conditions. The book, edited and organized into five chapters, covers the most interesting and frequently encountered scientific material on spinal cord injury and paraplegia. It is hoped that readers will not only find answers to some of their questions but also gain a detailed understanding of paraplegia and holistic approaches to its treatment.

In the last decade, diverse research areas have developed novel approaches to overcome dysfunctions after a spinal cord injury (SCI). Even though motor restoration attracts the most clinical attention, sensory, autonomic, and mental health are also aspects fundamental to improving the quality of life of SCI patients. Over four sections of therapeutic, rehabilitation, and technological approaches, this book examines preclinical and clinical studies using mesenchymal stem cells and pharmacological or electrical stimulation strategies. Chapters also address the impact of paraplegia and associated loss of autonomic functions, including bowel and sexual dysfunction, as well as the convergence of new technologies aimed at providing postural support and enhancing mobility.
