It would hardly be surprising, given that there is substantial evidence
that some physical exercise increases almost everyone's quality of life
and psychological well-being. Why should disabled people not be covered
by the conclusions of existing mainstream research? Why the special
study?
Getting out of the day centre might help, as Colin Barnes' 1990 book
'Cabbage Syndrome' graphically demonstrates (or perhaps closing it down
and diverting the resources...)
