Abstract
This exploratory study demonstrated the role that social and psychological variables may play in the differential response of the orthopedically disabled to a program of physical rehabilitation. While such factors as the individual''s self-conception, family reinforcement, financial concern, and previous organization and physical participation were significantly related to rehabilitation response, there was little evidence that age, degree of family solidarity, ordinal position, or predisability personality and behavior influenced therapeutic performance.
