Abstract

Objective: The purpose of the study was to determine the degree of disability and its socioeconomic and clinical determinants as well as the access to health and rehabilitation services in people with hemiplegia or hemiparesis in the city of Popayán, Cauca, Colombia. Methodology: descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 52 people of legal age, with a diagnosis of hemiplegia or hemiparesis. The WHODAS
2.0 disability assessment questionnaire was applied. Results: A hundred percent of the people studied had a disability, and the disability average total was 44.7%, corresponding to moderate disability. The participants showed difficulties in all domains of functioning, with moderate difficulty in the cognition, personal care and daily activities domains, and severe difficulty with mobility and participation. Conclusions: Hemiparesis and hemiplegia cause disability in different degrees of severity determined by the pathological state and the interaction and the influence of multiple socioeconomic, clinical factors and access to health and rehabilitation services.
