The umbrella term “disabilities” generally includes impairments, activity restraints, and involvement limitations. Every year, 20% of people in the UK seek medical attention for a condition associated with one of the more than 200 musculoskeletal types.
There are marked differences between child and adult causes of disability. For children with disabilities, most impairments were present at birth. For adults, disease and illness was the main cause of impairment, followed by accident and injury.
An impairment is the term for the actual condition that someone has. Disabled people can have multiple impairments and these may have more than one cause, which is why the percentages on this graph add up to more than 100%.
What is a Physical Disability?
Physical disability severely affects the capacity of a person to perform specific daily activities. These activities become more challenging and take longer to complete, such as carrying things and getting dressed.
Children and young people with physical disabilities may experience difficulty with accessing the physical environment, using equipment and facilities safely, participating in learning tasks and assessments, and performing practical tasks and activities. However, every individual is affected by their unique physical needs in a different way.
What Causes a Physical Disability?
1. Congenital Disability
2. Acquired Injury
3. Perinatal Causes
Types of Physical Disability
Some main physical disability categories include:
a. Musculoskeletal Disability
b .Neuromusculoskeletal Disability
c. Sensory Impairment
Common Physical Disabilities
- Cerebral Palsy
- Acquired Brain Injury
- Spinal Cord Injury
- Spina bifida

Treatment and Support for People with Physical Disabilities
For example, if your child is identified as having spina bifida, they will be transferred to a specialised team for support. Doctors and specialists may create a care plan to address your child’s needs and difficulties. The care plan will be reviewed as your kid ages to account for changes in their needs and environment.
This birth condition, known as neural tube defect, is spina bifida (NTD). This folding of the embryo’s posterior side, which usually creates the vertebral column with its muscles, spinal cord, and spinal nerves, is abnormal.
Doctors can treat the many challenges of spina bifida in a variety of ways. Along with the initial spinal surgery, they may use physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and mobility aids.
- People may have been born with a physical disability or may have developed one as an adult, for instance, as a result of a neurological disorder like multiple sclerosis or motor neurone disease. Physical impairments might also develop from traumatic events like spinal cord injuries or brain injuries like stroke.
- Physical disabilities can be caused by congenital, acquired, or perinatal circumstances
- People may be affected by various physical impairments, including hearing loss, chronic fatigue, impaired movement, chronic pain, seizures, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injuries, and muscular dystrophy affecting a person’s body function and mental health.
- The complexity of your physical disability will determine the kind of care you need. Some patients may need to see a specialist or their primary care physician. Others, however, could require a group of medical professionals.
