A study of 252 disabled persons with locomotor dysfunction because of infectious, degenerative and traumatic lesions of the central nervous system allowed the authors to specify three variants of the personality characteristics of the disabled. They were shown to play a determinant role in the social activity of the disabled and thus in their adaptation to the conditions of nursing homes.
