Design universal e reabilitação PÓS-AVC: promovendo a recuperação funcional e qualidade de vida

Abstract

This work, titled Universal Design and Post-Stroke Rehabilitation: Promoting Quality of Life, aims to explore the application of design as a tool to facilitate the care of individuals who have suffered a Stroke (CVA). Recognizing the challenges faced by informal caregivers, who often take on this responsibility without prior preparation, a printed guide with practical and accessible guidelines was developed. The guide was designed based on the principles of Universal Design, seeking to present information in a clear, inclusive, and adaptable manner to meet the diverse needs of caregivers and patients. It includes recommendations on care routines, adaptations in the home environment, handling emergency situations, and the importance of support networks. By combining design and functionality, the project aims not only to support caregivers in their daily tasks but also to promote the quality of life for all involved, emphasizing humanization in the post-stroke rehabilitation process.
