A study was conducted to investigate the relationship between sexuality and various areas of adjustment to disability among 39 male upper class Nigerian paraplegics and tetraplegics. The results showed that the younger the subjects were, the better were the chances for sexual adjustment; there was close correlation between good sexual adjustment and the ability to use aids to daily living, mobility, ability to perform role activities, high morale, relative independence and general satisfaction about life. The subjects exhibited interest in sexual activities in a positive way contrary to popular opinion. It has been proposed that sex counselling should be a standard component of the rehabilitation effort for paraplegics and tetraplegics.
一项研究旨在调查39名尼日利亚上层阶级男性截瘫患者和四肢瘫痪患者的性特征与适应残疾的各个方面之间的关系。结果表明，受试者年龄越小，性适应的机会就越好；良好的性适应与使用日常生活辅助工具的能力、行动能力、履行角色活动的能力、高昂的士气、相对独立性以及对生活的总体满意度密切相关。与普遍看法相反，受试者以积极的方式表现出对性活动的兴趣。有人提出，性咨询应成为截瘫患者和四肢瘫痪患者康复工作的标准组成部分。
