Abstract:
(text automatically translated from Italian) Roberta is one young woman, slices from Multiple Sclerosis, characterized from one strongly ***ipertonica print, with tetraparesis, dysarthria and ***disfagia. From some months, Roberta expresses itself to fatigue and the relatives have taken in consideration the proposal of a possible program of empowerment of the language: therefore we have undertaken in collaboration with the Center of territorial competence for the Assistive devices a path finalized to the assesment of an alternative system of communication. Parallel the participation within progressively has been increased also to the mobility and the posture, to the aim to search ***assistive solutions times to lighten the charitable load and to improve the comfort. Roberta currently is employee in all the activities of the daily life and he is not more in a position to collaborating to the transfer sequences that are to load total of the husband and the personal assistant. Also the posture system does not appear more suitable and Roberta prefers to remain laying down in the ***divano for great part of the day; to such purpose we have proposed a balancing wheelchair with postural system head-truncate-pelvis that allows them to remain seated for various hours. Objective of this work is to illustrate the path undertaken with Roberta in order to empower its participation in the within of the relations and, if possible, to prevent the risk of the isolation. Through integration of the various professionalities and the network of the Services, we would want to more propose a not oriented global approach to the single distribution of performances, tu to the attainment of the maximum possible independence.
