For The Active Wheelchair User
'Life on Wheels: For the Active Wheelchair User' is for disabled people who want to take charge of their life experience. The book describes medical issues such as paralysis, circulation, rehab, and cure research; day-to-day living involving exercise, sexuality, home access and wheelchair access; and social issues such as self-image, adjustment, friends, family, cultural attitudes and activism. People who depend upon wheelchairs for mobility are in varied situations and may live independently or need attendant care; live alone or with family; be employed full-time or no longer working. This book addresses these differences and helps readers cope with their changed circumstances.
