| dc.description.abstract | Musculoskeletal dysfunctions are a serious problem also in Poland: not only a medical one,
but also a social one, because, along with cardiovascular diseases, they cause a total of
approx. 45% of the cases of disability. It should be added that there is a year-on-year increase
in the number of people with disabilities. The presented review of research shows that
elevated anxiety and depressive tendencies tend to be permanent characteristics of people
with mental physical disabilities. Adults with physical disabilities tend to show passive and
apathetic attitude towards life. However, their sense of the meaning of life is within the
norm. It is worth noting that the psychosocial adaptation of adults with physical disabilities
changes in subsequent phases of adulthood. First of all, every adult period of life is characterized
by the dominance of another sphere of problems with physical disabilities. It is currently
most commonly accepted that optimal rehabilitation of people with disabilities requires an
interdisciplinary approach that enables the consideration of the physical, psychological, social,
educational, professional, financial and recreational spheres in this process in relation to
a person with a disability. Only such a multi-faceted approach to problems of rehabilitation
of persons with disabilities can bring satisfactory results. | en |
