Abstract

Social-recreational activities of 62 individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) living in the community and 219 people with no disability were compared. The relatively small between-group differences that were found in the extent of such activity became statistically insignificant when the groups were "matched" through the use of an analysis of covariance. Age, ethnicity, and one environmental barrier - transportation - comprise the significant predictors of social-recreational activity for the SCI group, with 49% of the variance in activity accounted for.
