ABSTRACT

Technology has had a great impact in daily life, and also in medicine. In rehabilitation, it has been introduced for assistance of disabilities, improve adherence to therapies, etc. There is a gap in the needs of these devices and the access to them, and one of the issues is that there are few trained personnel. This narrative review focuses on some definitions of robotics, wearable technology and virtual reality, with the aim of providing the reader of basic knowledge to understand further research in the area. Some examples of applications of technology in stroke, spinal cord injury and brain injury are summarized. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: el integro laboral es una meta primordial en la rehabilitación; en pacientes amputados fluctúa entre 43 y 89 por ciento. Existen factores descritos que se asocian a empleabilidad como género, edad a la que fueron amputados, nivel educacional, uso de prótesis, dolor, nivel de amputación y número de extremidades comprometidas. No se han encontrados estudios en pacientes amputados en edad pediátrica ni con amputaciones congénitas. Objetivo: determinar la magnitud de inserción laboral de los pacientes con deficiencias congénitas o amputaciones adquiridas antes de los 18 años, que en el año 2013 tengan entre 25 y 65 años, y analizarla según factores demográficos y clínicos. Método: estudio descriptivo que analizó las variables mencionadas mediante una encuesta telefónica diseñada y validada con este objetivo. La población estudiada correspondió a pacientes con amputaciones de Teletón Santiago, actualmente entre 25-65 años de edad, que residieran en la Región Metropolitana durante su período de rehabilitación. Se excluyó a pacientes con amputaciones parciales de mano o pie, y con compromiso cognitivo. Resultados: se incluyeron 61 pacientes. Todos habían trabajado en algún momento de su vida, y un 86,9 por ciento lo hacía al momento de la encuesta. El 67,3 por ciento tuvo acceso a educación superior. El 81,1 por ciento tenía empleo a tiempo completo. Un 22,6 por ciento deseaba realizar alguna modificación al trabajo actual. Sólo se encontró asociación estadísticamente significativa entre edad y el tipo de empleo. Conclusión: la mayoría de los entrevistados tenían empleo y un alto nivel educacional. Estos pacientes se beneficiarían de estrategias sociales de apoyo a nivel nacional.


Background: job reintegration is a major goal in rehabilitation. In amputees it varies from 43-89 percent. Factors related to employment rate are gender, age at the time of amputation, education, prosthetic use, pain, level of amputation and number of limbs compromised. No specific pediatric studies where found. Objective: to measure employment in patients between 25 and 65 years old with limb deficiencies or amputation before the age of 18 years, and describe it according to clinical and demographic factors. Methods: the following descriptive study measured clinical factors, employment status and characteristics of pediatric amputees thought a phone-survey designed and validated for this purpose. Patients were amputees from Teletón Santiago, living in the metropolitan zone during rehabilitation, aged between 25-65 years. Those with partial hand or foot amputations or with cognitive impairment where excluded. Results: sixty-one patients where included. All of them had worked, and 86.9 percent had a job at the time of the survey. 67 percent had access to higher education. Of them, 81.1 percent had a full time job. Only 22.6 percent wanted job adjustments. Differences were only found between age and employment type. Conclusion: the majority of the amputees interviewed were successfully employed and had a high educational level. These patients may benefit from national support strategies.
