A partir de um relato de caso tem-se por objetivo apresentar o efeito da tecnologia assistiva na independência para Atividades de Vida Diária-AVDs, pós lesão da medula espinal. São apresentadas as adaptações e órteses prescritas e confeccionadas para uma paciente com tetraplegia C6 (ASIA A), ao longo de sete meses de reabilitação em terapia ocupacional hospitalar. O instrumento utilizado para a coleta de dados foi a Medida de Independência Funcional-MIF. Embora a classificação de dependência modificada não tenha sido alterada, os resultados mensurados em valores quantitativos no escore total da MIF aumentaram de 50 para 64 e permitem discutir a melhora na independência para os itens de alimentação e autocuidado, a partir do treino com adaptações. As AVDs instrumentais:uso do computador, leitura e escrita também foram promovidas com o uso de tecnologia assistiva. Por fim, a importância da pesquisa em tecnologia assistiva é destacada a fim de favorecer indicadores de melhora na reabilitação e, no sentido clínico, maior possibilidade de independência no desempenho ocupacional desses pacientes.

Background: Spinal cord injuries (SCI) are a variety of chronic diseases that various causes such as trauma may contribute to its onset. One of the problems in these patients is the problem of physical activity and, consequently, daily activities. Objectives: This study aimed to assess daily living of patients with SCI. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study in 2019, 120 patients with SCI in Kermanshah were included in the study using purposive sampling. The instruments used in this study fell into two parts. One part included the demographic characteristics of the SCI patients, and the other part was a questionnaire of the rate of the Impact on Participation and Autonomy questionnaire (IPA-P). Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 16 using descriptive tests such as mean and standard deviation. Results: The result showed there was a significant relationship between demographic characteristics such as education (P < 0.007), time of spinal cord injury (P < 0.01), and income (P = 0.000). Also, the results showed there was a relationship between Autonomy and Participation, and the age of patients and their autonomy and participation decreased with age (P = 0.000, R = 0.72). Most of the patients had severe problems with daily activities. Also, most patients had very poor scores in relation to daily living activities. Conclusions: Considering the low rate of participation and autonomy in patients with SCI, it is suggested to conduct studies aimed at improving their self-care and social participation.
