摘要
Experience of the Southport Spinal Injuries Centre in reestablishing ventilator dependent patients back in their own homes has confirmed the view that such level of disability need not prevent people from returning to the community and start living again. Convincing the carers in the community and abolishing the traditional boundaries between hospital and community appear to be the fundamental prerequisites. Increased use of advanced assistive technology will enable these disabled people to have more acceptable control of their lives.
