INTRODUÇÃO: A qualidade de vida de pessoas com deficiência está associada à condição de bem-estar, mesmo diante das condições limitadoras ou restritivas que possuem. Assim, o exercício físico adaptado requer a promoção de algumas estratégias de estimulação das capacidades e possui grande importância para o indivíduo, seja na descoberta de novas habilidades ou na reabilitação das funções.OBJETIVO: Ao adentrar no universo de um box de CrossFit, objetivou-se conhecer a prática oferecida para um grupo de pessoas com deficiências físicas (usuárias de cadeiras de rodas e amputados) a fim de identificar na prática os benefícios que podem apresentar enquanto exercício físico. MÉTODOS: Buscou-se na literatura especializada subsídios para a discussão e descrição dos resultados obtidos, por meio do acompanhamento de um grupo praticante da modalidade, com registros fotográficos dos treinos e relatos dos participantes.RESULTADOS: Foi notada a melhoria da autoestima dos participantes, a redescoberta de funções em indivíduos em fase de reabilitação física e a importância da socialização entre pessoas com e sem deficiências.CONCLUSÃO: Constatou-se o quanto a prática é válida para o grupo que busca melhor condicionamento, além de contribuir para aspectos psicológicos e sociais essenciais para a qualidade de vida e, consequentemente, para a convivência saudável das pessoas com deficiência no esporte e na sociedade.ABSTRACT. Quality of life in disabilities: CrossFit adapted for wheelchair users and amputees.BACKGROUND: The quality of life of people with disabilities is associated with the condition of well-being, even in the face of the limiting or restrictive conditions they have.

Objective: to identify and systematize — in the literature available in computer databases (LILACS and MEDLINE) — studies on the quality of life of people with physical disabilities from spinal cord injury in the period from 1994 to 2004. Methods: this is a descriptive and exploratory study, in which a bibliographic review was performed. The following descriptors were used: people with physical disabilities, handicapped people, spinal cord injuries, quality of life, nursing and nursing care, and 27 articles were found, which comprised the sample for the study. Results: the topics of the articles encountered were the following: well-being of individuals with spinal cord injury; the rehabilitation process; life satisfaction; performance of physical activities and life expectancy. The study indicated an overall lack of publications in the field of nursing, as well as in methodological aspects. It was found that, although improving the life quality of patients with spinal cord injury is extremely important, there is a scarcity of studies on this subject, and it should be further investigated and discussed. Conclusion: therefore, it is important to include an understanding of the subjectivity of individuals with spinal cord injury and their perception on quality of life, aimed at improving nursing care. Descriptors: quality of life; people with disabilities; spinal cord; health of disabled or incapacitated people

Physical disability has a profound effect on one's quality of life, social intercourse and emotional well-being. Loneliness has been found to be a frequent companion of those afflicted with chronic illnesses that result in physical disabilities. This study examined the qualitative aspects of that loneliness. Five hundred and ninety-three participants volunteered to answer a 30-item yes/no questionnaire. Those with physical disabilities were compared to the nondisabled (general population), and then further divided into five homogeneous subgroups (i.e., those with multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, Parkinson's, arthritis, and “other” disabilities) which were compared to each other and to the general population sample who are healthy and not chronically ill. Results indicate that the loneliness of those with physical disabilities differs significantly from that of the general population.

Freedom of movement is an essential component of independence and mobility is closely associated with quality of life. People who have difficulty with independent walking often require a wheelchair to assist with mobility. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health model can be used to guide the provision of wheelchairs and seating through consideration of the individual personal factors and preferences, environmental limitations, the person’s desired activities and participation in life roles, as well as the person’s health condition or impairments of body structure and function. This chapter describes the steps in prescribing a wheelchair, types of manual and powered wheelchairs, and specialized seating and positioning components.
