The COVID-19 pandemic caused drastic changes in the lives of the general population. People with physical disabilities, who commonly encounter daily challenges such as barriers to community mobility, reduced access to healthcare services and higher risk of suffering from depression, may face additional challenges in the context of the pandemic.
This study aims to review the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and associated isolation and protective measures, among people with physical disabilities.
A rapid review of the published literature was conducted on August 10, 2020 through a search in six online databases to synthesize results from original studies regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people with physical disabilities. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health was used to describe the population and the personal and environmental factors with a unified and standard health language.
Eleven records were extracted from 1621 individual papers retrieved from the search strategy. Various impacts on daily functioning such as a decrease in access to healthcare have been noted during the pandemic. Changes in social and lifestyle habits, mood changes and decreased levels of physical activity were also noted.
Our results highlighted the lack of early research about the impacts of COVID-19 experienced by people with physical disabilities. Future studies should focus on specific consequences and needs of this vulnerable population to ensure their inclusion in public health recommendations and consideration by policy makers.
COVID-19 大流行导致了普通民众生活的巨大变化。身体残疾者通常会遇到社区出行障碍、获得医疗服务的机会减少以及更易患抑郁症等日常挑战，他们在大流行背景下面临着额外的挑战。
本研究旨在综述 COVID-19 大流行以及相关隔离和防护措施对身体残疾者的影响。
于 2020 年 8 月 10 日，通过在六个在线数据库中进行检索，快速回顾了已发表的文献，以综合有关 COVID-19 大流行对身体残疾者影响的原始研究结果。采用国际功能、残疾和健康分类对人群以及个人和环境因素进行描述，使用统一和标准的健康语言。
从检索策略中提取了 1621 篇论文中的 11 篇记录。大流行期间，日常功能（如获得医疗保健的机会减少）受到了各种影响。还注意到社会和生活方式习惯的改变、情绪变化和身体活动水平的降低。
我们的研究结果强调了早期研究对身体残疾者 COVID-19 影响的缺乏。未来的研究应侧重于这一弱势群体的具体后果和需求，以确保他们被纳入公共卫生建议并得到政策制定者的考虑。
