Preface
ABOUT THIS BOOK
Physical disability is an impairment or long-term loss in a person’s bodily functions that affect stamina, mobility, or dexterity. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that 61 million adults in the United States live with a disability. The CDC also reports that 2 in 5 adults aged 65 years and older have a disability. Rehabilitation helps people with disabilities to recover from and minimize the degree to which disability-associated symptoms adversely affect their lives through training. It provides tools needed to attain or maintain independence and self-determination.
Physical Disability and Rehabilitation, First Edition provides information about physical disabilities and their impact on society. Types of physical disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, and polio, are described, along with treatments. This book discusses health-related conditions related to physical disabilities and how to minimize and cope with their impact on the activities of daily living. Benefits for people with disabilities are addressed. This book also includes information about support services, such as employment and transportation services, available to people with disabilities.
