Previous issue date: 2008-08-18 / This study proposes to develop an equipment that attends the demands of tetraplegic people due to cerebral palsy and that promotes an adequate caregivers postural biomechanics
during the shower activity of daily living. First, a bibliographic review was performed to define the terms refering to cerebral palsy, activity of daily living (specifically shower), and
assistive technology, besides listing the wheelchairs made on the mainly national assistive technology companies. Therefore, this is a descriptive-exploratory study based on a literature
review and on a based-field exploration research. On the field research a survey was adopted as a methodological procedure as it is related to a direct investigation related to a
phenomenon, on the case, represented by the current shower situation of the people investigated in this study. Data were collected with the application of a form to the caregivers
and consumers of the medical-therapeutic treatment and place used by the participants. Such form, which was made up of open and close questions, tried to identify, besides the personal
data of evaluated users and consumers, the characteristics of the current shower activity, such as the place where it takes place in the house, the used equipmentS, in the case there is any, and how often it occurs. The form also was used to identify the caregivers and consumers desires and perceptions in relation to the present characteristics of the new dispositive besides the users and consumers anthropometric data. The evaluation of the results obtained through the form, together with the practice and clinical experience of the researchers and engineers involved in this study, made it possible to develop and make up a real shower chair prototype with the specific adjusts destined to adequate the equipment to be used according to the needs of each user and consumer / Esta pesquisa tem como proposta desenvolver um equipamento que atenda as exig?ncias motoras de indiv?duos com paralisia cerebral tetrapar?tica esp?stica e promova biomec?nica postural adequada aos cuidadores para a atividade da vida di?ria referente ao banho. Inicialmente, o levantamento bibliogr?fico buscou definir os termos referentes ? paralisia cerebral, atividade da vida di?ria especificando o banho, e tecnologia assistiva, al?m de listar cadeiras de banho fabricadas nas principais ind?strias de produtos de tecnologia assistiva do mercado nacional. Desta forma, o trabalho tem sua forma??o baseada na pesquisa do tipo descritiva-explorat?ria atrav?s de investiga??o em fontes bibliogr?ficas e em pesquisa de campo. Na pesquisa de campo foi adotado como procedimento metodol?gico o levantamento, por se tratar de uma investiga??o direta relativa a um fen?meno que se deseja
aprofundar, no caso, representado pela situa??o atual do banho dos indiv?duos deste estudo. Os dados foram coletados com a aplica??o de formul?rio junto aos cuidadores/consumidores
em locais de tratamento m?dico-terap?utico freq?entados pelos indiv?duos participantes. O formul?rio, atrav?s de perguntas abertas e fechadas buscou identificar, al?m dos dados
pessoais dos usu?rios e consumidores, as caracter?sticas da atividade do banho atual, como o local da casa onde o banho ? realizado; qual o equipamento utilizado, no caso de haver algum;
e com que freq??ncia este ocorre. Tamb?m buscou identificar os desejos e percep??es dos cuidadores/consumidores em rela??o ?s caracter?sticas presentes no novo dispositivo, al?m de dados antropom?tricos dos usu?rios e consumidores. A avalia??o dos resultados obtidos atrav?s do formul?rio, somada a experi?ncia pr?tica-cl?nica do pesquisador e da equipe de
engenheiros envolvidas no projeto, possibilitou o desenvolvimento e confec??o do prot?tipo real da cadeira de banho, com ajustes espec?ficos destinados a adequar o equipamento ao uso de acordo com as necessidades individuais de cada usu?rio e consumidor
