Physical Disability of Care
Physical disability encompasses a broad range of conditions that affect an individual’s mobility, physical capacity, stamina, or dexterity. This can include congenital conditions, such as muscular dystrophy or cerebral palsy, as well as disabilities acquired through life such as after a stroke or a traumatic injury. The journey of living with a physical disability is unique to each individual, and as such, the care provided needs to be equally personalised and comprehensive.
