Patients with spinal cord injuries, in addition to rehabilitation in specialized facilities, often continue physical therapy at home. At that time, they become highly exposed to indoor pollutants, which can affect the effectiveness of the recovery program and human health. Thus, the present study presents the monitoring of indoor air quality in a residential facility where a patient with spinal cord injuries undergoes post-traumatic recuperative physical activity. Such a study is useful for ensuring good air quality for the optimal development of a rehabilitation program with the possibility of screening the indoor air quality of the home by the physiotherapist and even by the patient themselves, in the simplest way possible using low-cost equipment. Thus, 11 indoor air quality parameters were monitored for a period of 18 weeks, using low-cost equipment. An air purifier was put into operation for a period of one week to identify differences in the safety of the indoor environment for physical activities. The results indicate an environment with frequent exceedances of the international standards in force for several indicators. After installing the purifier, the air quality stabilized and a much safer and more efficient environment for carrying out the recovery activities was established. Thus, the process of monitoring and optimizing indoor air quality stands as a fundamental requirement for home rehabilitation because it establishes a secure controlled environment that supports recovery in any residential setting.
脊髓损伤患者除了在专业机构进行康复治疗外，通常还会在家中继续进行物理治疗。此时，他们极易接触到室内污染物，而这些污染物会影响康复计划的效果以及人体健康。因此，本研究对一家住宅机构的室内空气质量进行了监测，该机构中有一名脊髓损伤患者正在进行创伤后恢复性体育活动。这样的研究有助于确保良好的空气质量，以促进康复计划的最佳开展，同时物理治疗师甚至患者自己都有可能以最简便的方式使用低成本设备对家中的室内空气质量进行筛查。因此，使用低成本设备对11个室内空气质量参数进行了为期18周的监测。运行了一周的空气净化器，以确定室内环境对体育活动安全性的差异。结果表明，该环境中多项指标经常超过现行国际标准。安装净化器后，空气质量趋于稳定，为开展康复活动建立了一个更安全、更高效的环境。因此，监测和优化室内空气质量的过程是家庭康复的一项基本要求，因为它建立了一个安全可控的环境，支持在任何居住环境中的康复。
