A cross-sectional study for assessment of activity of daily living and health-related quality of life among adults with physical disabilities in the Wardha district

Abstract

Introduction Physical disabilities can affect a person’s ability to operate, move about, and endure physical strain. Physically challenged individuals have fewer social opportunities than physically healthy individuals, which is linked to a lower degree of well-being and a worse standard of living (QoL). Objectives This study set out to evaluate how physically disabled people’s everyday activities and their physical impairments have an impact on their quality of life in terms of health. Methods The study will concentrate on physically handicapped persons and how their everyday activities and quality of life are affected by their impairment. To evaluate and obtain insight into their knowledge about the laws and facilities available to them. In order to gather the research on the subject, search terms like “disability,” “quality of life,” and “activities of daily living” were employed in PubMed and Google Scholar. Study implications The goal of the study is to address any knowledge gaps regarding how physical disability disrupts a normal lifestyle and how challenging it is to carry out essential daily tasks (activities of daily living).
