The impact on marriages of adult-onset paraplegia.

Paraplegia does not seriously impair marital functioning according to a critical review of the English-language literature from the last three decades on the marital impact of adult-onset paraplegia.

The discussion highlights implications for health care personnel who advise or counsel paraplegic patients or their spouses about marital concerns.
