Introduction

Disability disorders (DDs) encompass a wide range of diseases and syndromes that pose a major global health challenge and profoundly affect both personal and social life. Individuals with DDs often experience reduced quality of life, high healthcare costs, diminished self-confidence, poor social participation, and limited work capacity. Furthermore, the presence of a family member with a disability negatively impacts the overall well-being of the household, as other members are required to devote time to caregiving and redirect financial resources toward healthcare expenses rather than quality-of-life improvements.
