Abstract
- To analyze the clinical profile and functional classification of the population with physical and/or sensory disabilities in the municipalities of Marajó using the International Classification of Diseases and International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health. This descriptive, exploratory study was carried out in all Marajó municipalities. The prevalence of disabilities acquired after birth involving diseases of the nervous system and impairment of the lower and upper extremities of the body was verified. Deficiency in joint mobility, strength, and tonus were the most affected body functions, which impacted mobility and self-care activities, as well as interpersonal relationships with healthcare professionals and immediate family, representing a social barrier. Thus, based on the results found, the influence of social, educational, economic, and geographical contexts on the clinical condition and functional performance of people with disabilities is understood.
