Body image, physical activity, quality of life, and community reintegration of individuals with acquired mobility disability in a Nigerian population.

CONCLUSIONS: PA was high for this sample of individuals with mobility disability receiving physiotherapy but QOL, CR, and BI were poor. Based on observed correlations, rehabilitation interventions for enhancing PA may help improve QOL and CR. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Mobility disabilities are very common and burdensome in Nigeria and other African countries. Quality of life, physical activity, community reintegration, and body image can be adversely affected among individuals with mobility disabilities. Understanding relationships between these constructs among individuals with mobility disabilities could help in enhancing rehabilitation planning and outcomes. Physical activity relates to both community reintegration and life quality, whereas body image relates to community integration. PMID: 32924653 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
