In order to clarify lifestyle features of wheelchair users affected by spinal injuries, the lifestyle behavior of seven (7) households of wheelchair users were investigated. Wheelchair users were able to perform daily tasks by themselves, owing to their specially-equipped homes. However, even if they were able to cope with basic living conditions by themselves, many of them felt restricted by their spinal injuries or secondary disorders; thus, circumstances, especially those involving excretion, should be carefully planned for. Meanwhile, household chores were difficult tasks for them and they felt they were poor at housework. Therefore, most of them tended to avoid doing such burdensome chores. In addition our evaluation clearly found that the extent of care which should be provided to a wheelchair user, especially in doing housework, differs between care-providers and care-takers. It can be said that the evaluation was influenced by how much the wheelchair users can take care of themselves, how serious the extent of the handicap is, and how experienced the care-providers are.
