A survey was undertaken to investigate the ability of 104 subjects with locomotor disability to cope in their homes. Factors which might affect coping, such as age, race, sex and type of disease, were assessed. Note was taken of support received from community-based organizations, ability to work and source of income. The majority of the subjects appeared to be isolated from health personnel after discharge from hospital and to be restricted to their homes. The deficits in the local health services which contributed to this situation are stressed.
开展了一项调查，以研究104名行动不便者在家中的自理能力。对可能影响自理能力的因素进行了评估，如年龄、种族、性别和疾病类型。记录了从社区组织获得的支持、工作能力和收入来源。大多数受试者出院后似乎与医护人员失去了联系，只能待在家中。文中强调了导致这种情况的当地医疗服务缺陷。
