Abstract:

The increased participation of the disabled in sports is already a reality.Sports promote an important stimulus in rehabilitation and reintegration in society.The daily life of any person is made up of many activities of daily living (ADLs).If a person is unsuitable, it may affect the various roles they might play.Intervention in occupational dysfunctions is the main target of Occupational Therapy.The present study aimed to survey the main difficulties in the Activities of Daily Living of Paralympians with motor impairment, from the UNP/SUPERAR project, through the HAQ (Health Assessment Questionnaire) protocol.A total of 11 Paralympic athletes, all medalists with high performance at national and international competitions, were assessed; it was found that, despite being world champions in their categories, they present difficulties in performing basic tasks of daily living, just like any other disabled person, requiring the intervention of occupational therapy through the use of Assistive Technology resources for this population.Further more detailed studies are needed, as well as the application of specific protocols for each athlete aiming to identify other tasks not described in this questionnaire.
