Sexual reactivation of chronically ill and disabled adults
Abstract:
Nurses, occupational therapists, and physical therapists have acknowledged the importance of their roles, and their lack of knowledge, as related to the sexual reactivation of chronically ill and disabled individuals. This article reviews the sexual implications for adults of arthritis, heart disease, stroke, and amputations.
