Tecnologias assistivas para a mobilidade de pessoas com deficiência

Abstract

The basic human needs are directly related to the subject capability of executing by himself, through his own mobility of a healthy subject, basic tasks like taking a shower, eliminating vesicointestinal residues, getting dressed or being nourished. However, many times when facing a lifelong physical disability or a result of a medical consequence of a cerebrovascular accident or poliomyelitis, or even others, this condition can affect and result in physical or psychological suffering to the subject. The limitations of a physical disability suppress social connection. The objective of this project was to identify scientific studies that could demonstrate relevant interventions to assist the confrontation of physical disabilities, describing assistive technology that aims to facilitate this confrontation. The applied methodology was a systematic review of studies published over the last 14 years, where we performed the selection of three reports, following the inclusion and exclusion criteria of integrative literature review as a method that allows the inclusion of experimental (testable) research and almost experimental (non testable). As a result, we found studies that describe applied technologies with distinct public that can contribute to this scenery if tested in other demographic groups. The conclusion of this research suggests the applicability of these three studies together to the low-income population and subsequent feasibility of the study as a social integration method of disabled people in their own habitat.
