Sažetak
The aim of this study is to advance our understanding of the secondary health conditions (SHCs) experienced by individuals with acquired long-term disabilities. This review is based on published literature and addresses the nature and perspectives associated with the phenomenon of disability, as well as the terminology used to describe it. The current understanding of SHCs limits and explains the range of information on somatic and mental illness with respect to the following criteria: SHCs are secondary to the primary disorder, they are preventable and modifiable, they manifest in different ways and for different durations of time, and that they exacerbate the severity of the primary condition. This review attempts to describe particular aspects associated with functioning in the context of acquired physical disabilities, practical implications of research on this subject, and perspectives for the future.
