Abstract
When we first began the work with 10 paraplegics 7 years ago, it was very difficult to find a suitable project. Now the productive ability of the handicapped has been greatly increased by adapting tools, machines, working and living conditions.
We could prove that the paraplegics are excellent workers. Spinal workers are not at all inferior to the able-bodied. We doctors, should give our help and knowledge to them not only at the bedside but also in restoring their working capabilities.
