Abstract
ABSTRACT
Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is a common injury in Brazil and around the world, causing kinetic-functional and sensory repercussions. Upper limb spasticity is an important and challenging complication. Understanding how those affected perceive their functional gains through physiotherapeutic treatment is necessary. The objective of this work was to verify, on a scientific basis, the importance of studies on the perception of functionality in spastic individuals undergoing physiotherapy. An exploratory and qualitative-quantitative research was carried out, through scientific prospecting. Held in June/July 2023, it involved articles from the last 5 years, from the Pubmed and Science Direct databases. The selected descriptors were combined using the Boolean operator AND and belonged to the Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCs or MeSH) platform, review articles being excluded. In PubMed, 169, 67 and 51 articles were found respectively when combining the descriptors perception AND cerebrovascular accident, perception AND cerebrovascular accident AND measurement and perception AND cerebrovascular accident AND measurement AND physical therapy. On the Science Direct platform, 531, 207 and 145 articles were found for the same combinations respectively. Studies involving the perception of individuals affected by stroke about their functional gains when undergoing physiotherapy are still infrequent, mostly portraying varied functional outcomes. This scientific prospection could help in the direction of further research as a timely way of highlighting the importance of the speeches of patients undergoing treatment, and could be a possibility for greater representativeness and completeness in measuring the functional status of these patients.
