Abstract

The activities of twenty people with a physical handicap were observed over a period of 13 days. On average 35% of the patients were observed to be engaged in no obvious activity. After 'inactivity' the two most frequently endorsed categories of activity were 'conversation' and 'watching TV or listening to the radio'. The implications of these findings for the social rehabilitation of disabled people are discussed.
