Annotation	Research concerning the emerging population of people ageing with a long-term disability (including spinal cord injury and those surviving polio myelitis and now dealing with post polio syndrome) is heavily weighted towards quantitative methods. Results from a literature search revealed many articles using quantitative research methods and few articles using qualitative research methods. Those few articles using qualitative research methods that include analysis of life stories or narratives, are reviewed. Proposed assumptions are discussed that integrate the body of knowledge elicited from qualitative research. (KJ/RH).
