[Social-professional rehabilitation of patients with multiple trauma without brain or spinal cord injuries]

Social and professional rehabilitation was studied in 77 patients who had sustained 1 to 5 years before a polytraumatism without brain or spinal cord injury. 36 patients (46%) remain professionally disabled, most of them manual workers, despite of long-term specific treatments. Only 41 patients (53%) judge their present quality of life good or satisfactory.
