Abstract
Two almost homogeneous groups of 72 paraplegics (57 total, 15 subtotal lesions) were compared 2 years after sustaining the lesion. To enable a comparison the following two criteria were selected: 1. Percentage of paraplegics who had completed in-patient treatment at that date 2. Percentage of paraplegics who had already resumed work. Only some of the paraplegics of Group 50 (sustained their lesions in the period between 1950 and 1958) had received treatment in special wards or units. Paraplegics of Group 60 (sustained their lesions during the years of 1963 and 1969) had received treatment in the Rehabilitation Centre of the University of Cologne. The cited results clearly prove that qualified specific treatment is of great effectiveness.
