1 Dysphagia Assessment and Intervention Basic Principles for Trauma Management ANGELA T. MORGAN AND ELIZABETH C. WARD   INTRODUCTION The oropharyngeal phase of normal swallowing is a highly coordinated, rapid process that is typically completed in less than 1.5 seconds. Given the apparent ease of this process in healthy individuals, the complexity of the neurological control or physiological function of swallowing is commonly underestimated. Any form of trauma to the brain or to the physical str -- 2 Traumatic Brain Injury ANGELA T. MORGAN AND ELIZABETH C. WARD   INTRODUCTION Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most prevalent causes of death or lifelong disability (Thurman, Alverson, Dunn, Guerrero, & Sniezek, 1999). TBI is often associated with a broad spectrum of comorbid injury and prolonged hospitalization (Scott-Jupp, Marlow, Seddon, & Rosenbloom, 1992). Patterns of recovery are equally diverse and may take place over a long period of time. In light of the complex, multifactori -- 3 Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury MAURA M. SOLLEY AND ELIZABETH C. WARD   INTRODUCTION Formal rehabilitation programs for adults with spinal cord injury (SCI) were not widely available until world events in the 1940s required a response to the large numbers of wounded veterans returning from military conflicts.

4 Burn Injury ANNA F. RUMBACH, ELIZABETH C. WARD, CYNTHIA MCKINNON DUBOSE, AND NICOLA A. CLAYTON   INTRODUCTION Medical and nursing management for burns has existed for over 3500 years (Barrow & Herndon, 2007), yet the discipline of speech-language pathology (SLP) has not played an active role within the management team until recent years (Ward, Uriarte, & Conroy, 2001). The need for SLPs to become more involved in the management of this population is twofold. First, advances in medical and surg -- 5 Multitrauma and Iatrogenic Trauma JANE M. CROMBIE, ANN-LOUISE SPURGIN, AND ELIZABETH C. WARD   INTRODUCTION Multitrauma is a term used to define the event of physical injuries occurring simultaneously in several parts of the body. These simultaneous injuries may include orthopedic injury, brain and spinal cord injury, soft tissue wounds, and burn injury. Clinical management of the multitrauma patient is therefore complex, as each of the simultaneously occurring physical injuries may have its o -- Foreword by John C. Rosenbek, PhD and Harrison N.
