To determine the characteristics of people with permanent limitations in mobility and self-care in 17 districts of the urban area of Giron, Santander 2012-2013.



Materials and methods

A descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study was conducted using the tool Register for the Location and characterization of the disabled people (RLCDP), designed by the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE). Previously trained physiotherapy students interviewed caregivers or disabled people.



Results

A total of 189 people were studied of 50.3% women, and 45.5% between 60 and 100 years old. A large majority (79.9%) had alterations in body movement, hands, arms and legs. As regards activities and participation, 91% had difficulty walking, running, jumping, and 41.3% found it difficult to lead, move, and use objects with hands. Of the bodily functions, 60.3% involved mobility. General illness diseases were the main cause of disability (33.9%).



Conclusions

A high percentage of persons with permanent mobility limitations and caring for themselves in the urban area of Girona are older adults from socioeconomic level 2. The predominant mobility limitations are in the hands, arms, and legs, with involvement in at least two body structures.

abstract = {Objective: To identify the problem of the population with disabilities (PD) belonging to the 17 communes of Bucaramanga for the construction of the lines of action of the public policy of disability (PPD) of the Municipality of Bucaramanga, 2011. 



Methodology: A descriptive study holding 5 workshops was developed in 17 working tables (WT) that brought together 202 representatives of the PD from the 17 communes and rural settlements to collect their most felt needs and their proposals. 



Results: 94.1% of the (WT) considered that the rights of the PD are not respected. 82.4% indicated that public health campaigns and interventions would be the most effective way to prevent disability. 35.3% indicated that inclusive education should be strengthened. The main difficulty identified for PD was related to physical accessibility, particularly the state of roads and public spaces (70.6%). Among the programs or actions that WTs believe can be developed for the benefit of the PD and their families, is the creation of a health care route that allows them timely access to services (7.5%). The main interest, in terms of art, culture, non-formal education and recreation was the training of arts and crafts to be productive (58.8%). 



Conclusions: The PPD raised exclusively by government entities is transformed into an inclusive PPD that takes into account the needs of the community with disabilities.},

Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study with a sample of 60 participants selected for convenience. The level of gross motor function was assessed using the classification system of the gross motor function (GMFCS). The analysis calculated absolute and relative frequencies. 



Results: The largest age group was between 6 and 12 years 61.6%, 50% were female and the majority belonged to the socioeconomic stratum 2 (43.3%), representing the lower class stratification as in Colombia; 56, 7% of children lived with both parents, found that 55% of households had \>1 y \<2 Current legal minimum monthly wage and the health system was the most common tax (65%). According to the classification with GMFCS, we found that 38.3% of children were at level V, 25.0% in Level I, Level IV 16.7%, 13.3% in level III and level II 6.7%. Body structures most affected were the central nervous system with 78.3%, followed by deficiencies in the structures for movement (upper and lower limbs) with 20.0%. 



Conclusions: It is found that the severity of gross motor function is directly related to functional abilities, the need for elements of support and caregiver.},

abstract = {Introduction: The International Classification of Functioning (ICF) has defined disability as a term that includes impairments, activity limitations and restrictions. Objective: To establish the facial validity of the instruments Assessment of Life Habits (LIFE-H) for disabled children between 5 and13 years old. Materials and methods: a study was carried out on the assessment of diagnostic tests, as well as the cultural adaptation of the instruments using 6 mothers of children without disabilities (CD) as a reference. At the same time, the validity was assessed by 19 mothers of boys and girls in CD who were assessed through an interview done by two last-year physiotherapy students. Results: The LIFE-H for age 5-13 years old, in order to assess social participation were officially translated, adapted to local language with comprehensible, clear, and easy to answer questions. We obtained an instrument with facial validity and relevant cultural adaptability to the context. We found confusing words or questions in education and nutrition categories in the LIFE-H for 5-13 years old that were modified. Conclusion: We obtained a useful tool to measure social participation from the habits of children with disabilities, which provides a sound basis for improving interventions in rehabilitation. It is suggested to continue evaluating the reliability of this instrument.},

Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted on eighty 5 to 13 years-old children (9±2.7 years) with disabilities, who lived in the metropolitan area of Bucaramanga and were conveniently selected. The life-habit scale assessment was used. Spearman's correlation coefficient was estimated (p).



Results: the global scoring of social participation was 6±2.3 and the satisfaction of the parents with their children's social participation was 3.6±0.7. The habit with the highest correlation coefficient was communication (p= 0.83) and that with the lowest coefficient was personal relationships (p= 0.44). In the global scoring, a very good correlation was found between the social participation and the satisfaction of the parents with this participation (p= 0.82).



Conclusions: at the time of putting forward objectives and treatments, both the social participation and the satisfaction of parents with it should be taken into consideration jointly rather than separately.

Materials and methods: A descriptive study was conducted using the tool of record "Survey of Persons with Disabilities and its attendant". Physiotherapy and bacteriology students from the University of Santander (UDES), previously trained, collected the information by interview. We use descriptive statistics applying central tendency measures and absolute and relative frequencies. 



Results: We found 108 people with disabilities; the prevalence of disability in this population was 1.3% (95% CI 1.1 -1.6), the place with the highest prevalence was Los Teres (9.4%; 95% CI 5.1-15.5). Of the 108 disabled people, 48% were female and 47.2% were between 15 and 44 years old. The body structure more impaired was the nervous system with 64.8% and general tasks and demands were the most affected (57.4%). Problems with services, transport systems and policies, social security, health, and education were the main facilitator (57.4%). 



Conclusion: Disability as a public health problem affecting the activities, participation and performance of people with disabilities decreasing their individual development and opportunities for integration into society.},

abstract = {We present the health and education reality of disabled persons (DP) from Los Santos, Santander in 2010 and 2011. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was done with the instrument “Survey of Persons with Disabilities and its caregiver”. An interview was performed by 17 last year students of Physiotherapy and Bacteriology previously trained. Information was collected from 108 DP (48.1% female). With reference to health, the conditions that most affect them are nervous system disorders (64.8%), with a principal diagnosis of Epilepsy (18%) and Cerebral Palsy (15%). 89.6% of DP belongs to a subsidized health regime, 61% went once to rehabilitation, and physiotherapy was the main service received (63.2%); the primary reason for not attending rehabilitation was the lack of financial resources (45.7%). Regarding education, for DP aged three years old and more, 46.2% could not read or write, 37.4% of DP would not continue studying if they have the opportunity, and 33.6% did not know or did not answer this question. In terms of education, support services to DP who are enrolled in school, 50% have pedagogical support and the remaining do not have any service. Furthermore, 62.5% believe that teachers do not adequately address the special needs of DP and 58.5% believe that the education of DP has not been responsive to their needs. We conclude that disability is a public health problem affecting the health and education of DP, reducing their individual development and the opportunities for integration into society.},
