Quality of life for women with physical disabilities

Phys Med Rehabil Clin N Am. 2001 Feb;12(1):23-37.

Abstract

This article emphasizes the role of several factors on the QOL of women with disabilities. Future studies might examine ways to merge these factors to examine their long-term consequences in the lives of women with disabilities and, hence, society at large. Findings should provide a basis for policymaking and clinical rehabilitation interventions designed to promote greater QOL for women with disabilities-a QOL that offers vigorous prosperity, flourishing health, and full social participation.
