Systematic review.
The purpose of the study was to identify and organize evidence regarding quality of life influenced by assistive technology related to computers for people with traumatic and non-traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI).
Distrito Federal, Brazil.
A search strategy was conducted on the PubMed, PEDro, LILACS, PsycINFO, and SCIELO. All types of study designs considering assistive technology to improve quality of life for individuals with SCI were included. After search strategy procedures, ten references were included to review. The methodologic quality of each study was evaluated using the Level of Evidence proposed by the Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine.
Most of the studies showed that devices for computer access improve the quality of life of people with SCI, regardless of the level of injury and type of resource. However, the positive outcomes in the quality of life should be interpreted with caution, as several methodological limitations were observed in the articles.
Despite the scarcity of studies and their methodological limitations, there is evidence that assistive technology for computer access favors the quality of life of people with tetraplegia due to SCI, since it improves participation, independence, and self-esteem.
系统评价。
本研究旨在识别和整理与计算机相关的辅助技术对创伤性和非创伤性脊髓损伤（SCI）患者生活质量影响的证据。
巴西联邦区。
在 PubMed、PEDro、LILACS、PsycINFO 和 SCIELO 上进行了搜索策略。纳入了所有考虑辅助技术以提高 SCI 患者生活质量的研究设计类型。在搜索策略程序之后，纳入了十篇参考文献进行综述。使用牛津循证医学中心提出的证据水平评估每个研究的方法学质量。
大多数研究表明，计算机接入设备改善了 SCI 患者的生活质量，无论损伤程度和资源类型如何。然而，应该谨慎解释生活质量的积极结果，因为在文章中观察到了几个方法学限制。
尽管研究数量稀少且存在方法学限制，但有证据表明，计算机接入辅助技术有利于 SCI 四肢瘫痪患者的生活质量，因为它提高了参与度、独立性和自尊心。
