Abstract
This is a report on 81 patients who have previously been discharged from the Kenny Rehabilitation Institute at Minneapolis, Minnesota, after comprehensive rehabilitation. All these patients had traumatic cord injury. There were 33 paraplegics and 48 tetraplegics. This report deals primarily with the psychosocial adjustment of such disabled individuals living in society. A great majority of these people function with relative independence and seem to have made a quite satisfactory adjustment to their disability. In addition, motivation continues well enough so that they remain in relatively good health. It is recognised that these optimistic findings are biased to some extent by a certain group of such people who do not return for follow-up examination.
