Abstract

Objective. To characterize the population with ALS who attended the FAQ and verify the goals of the most attentive customers, based on the ICF. Method. This is a retrospective, descriptive study, based on the analysis of medical records of individuals treated in the FAQ sector of the AACD between 2012 and 2020. Data were collected regarding gender, time of injury and initiation in the FAQ, time since FAQ, cause of injury, resulted from the FAQ and most used ICF codes. A total of 159 medical records were screened and 95 were included. Results. In the study, 77.9% of the individuals completed the rehabilitation process. The prevalence was male (56.8%) and the prevalent causes were neuroinfections (28.4%) and Traumatic Brain Injury (27.4%). The average time of the injury was 56 months, and the onset of the FAQ was 102 months, with an average rehabilitation time of 25.8 months. Of the total, 77.9% completed the rehabilitation process and the most used ICF domain was Activity and Participation. The most used code was b770. Conclusion. It is observed that most individuals were male, the most prevalent causes of AIL that obtained FAQ are neuroinfections, TBI and anoxia. The average time in the FAQ was 25 months, with a mean age at the start of treatment of 102 months. Most of the objectives outlined, according to the CIF, are related to Activity and Participation.
