Description: The aim of this research project was to explore relationships between the social/physical environment of spinal cord injured women and their daily living activities.

The sample included 77 women obtained from the files of rehabilitation hospitals in the tri-state area. The actual study was conducted over an eight-month period via mailed questionnaires and telephone follow-up interviews.

Participants in the study were asked to respond to a set of questions relating to the frequency of specific daily living activities. An overall profile detailing their living and social situation was also obtained.

The findings revealed that spinal cord injured women engaged in personal care activities, recreational activities, quiet activities, and house work more frequently than work, education or rehabilitation activities. Accessible resources did not appear to influence one activity over another, nor account for greater mobility outside of the home.
