Traumatic brain injury is a global health concern. It is a diverse disease process that results in a myriad of impairments, outcomes and challenges. The heterogeneity and complexity of the disease requires the collaboration and involvement of a wide range of professionals across an array of disciplines including research, management and public health.
The Oxford Textbook of Traumatic Brain Injury comprehensively covers all aspects of traumatic brain injury from the basic science to common symptoms and management. It provides a single source of information for those working in the field of traumatic brain injury in both clinical and research fields. It has been written with global readership in mind, with specific chapters dedicated to regions around the world.
The book is a comprehensive resource for academics, trainees, and clinicians working with patients with traumatic brain injuries in neurosciences, neurorehabilitation and community settings including those working in emergency medicine, intensive care, neurology, neurosurgery, neuropsychiatry, neuropsychology, neurorehabilitation and a range of allied professionals. All chapters are written with global readership in mind to ensure relevance of the book in all the continents. The book provides a balanced, evidence-based, and practical resource that supports clinicians, researchers, and students in their efforts to improve outcomes for individuals with traumatic brain injury.
