Based on the International Classification of Functioning, this approach emphasises the importance of setting goals which are purposeful and meaningful to the patient. These goals are related to performance of motor tasks analysed in terms of 6 key impairments. The assessment and treatment performance of each of these impairments for people with spinal cord injury is described in the following chapters: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003etraining motor tasks\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003estrength training\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003econtracture management\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003epain management\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003erespiratory management\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ecardiovascular fitness training\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eDr Harvey develops readers' problem-solving skills equipping them to manage all types of spinal cord injuries.
