Sixty-eight paraplegics from three hospitals in western Nigeria were interviewed using a semistructured questionnaire. The unemployment rate among subjects was high, though much higher among the lower class subjects than among those from the upper class. Frequency of travel and sports participation was low in both groups. A high proportion of the lower class group was dissatisfied with their current circumstances. The authors believe that the problems faced by paraplegics could be significantly reduced if adequate resources were allocated to rehabilitation strategies.
使用半结构化问卷对来自尼日利亚西部三家医院的68名截瘫患者进行了访谈。研究对象中的失业率很高，不过下层社会的研究对象比上层社会的研究对象失业率要高得多。两组的出行频率和体育活动参与率都很低。下层社会群体中有很大一部分人对他们目前的状况不满意。作者认为，如果为康复策略分配足够的资源，截瘫患者所面临的问题可以显著减少。
