| Summary: | Cerebrovascular Accidents (CVA) is the second cause of deaths in the world and one of the most common permanent causes
of sequels, in a scale corresponding to the gravity of the injury. The aim of this work was to evaluate, under the perspective of the
after-CVA patients, the impact of sequels in their autonomy and functional independence. It is a qualitative study, with semistructured
interviews of 4 subjects, both male and female, with ages from 44 to 71 years. Data were analyzed by the technique of thematic content
analysis and lead to the emergence of four categories: immediate help and hospital treatment; the impact of sequels in the autonomy
and independence; ways to face the limitations; and the role of physiotherapy in rehabilitation. The limitations sequels cause interfere
in daily activities, although they are not impeditive, thanks to the adaptations developed. |
