“…Wright (1996) stated that 90% of such patients recover well, but that the recovery time varies. Other studies have found that the chance of complete recovery is 60%–75%, and that approximately 20%–25% of patients recover with some residual impairment (Anderson, 1992; Mascarella & Hudson, 1991; McLeod, 1999; McMahon‐Parkes & Cornock, 1997). A minority, about 3%–10%, will be confined to wheelchairs (Mascarella & Hudson, 1991; McMahon‐Parkes & Cornock, 1997; Wright, 1996).…”
