Desenvolvimento de uma peça de surfe adaptado para pessoas hemiplégicas

Abstract

The present work aims to develop a piece that provides adequate lumbar support for surfers in the ventral decubitus position. This study uses as a methodological basis the process used by Lobäch (2001) to understand the design aspects necessary for the development of the piece. Given the understanding of the physiotherapeutic impact of surfing on the quality of life of people with disabilities, the development of this work is essential to generate more accessibility to the sport. The focus of this project is people who acquired hemiplegia after cerebrovascular accidents and occasionally adapted to a new life structure, proposing surfing as an activity that encourages their reintegration.
