Abstract
Accessibility is essential for the social inclusion of individuals with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). The aim of this study was to verify the perception of individuals with SCI residing in several municipalities in Minas Gerais about accessibility and to analyze whether gender and level of injury are associated with displacements and knowledge of legislation on accessibility. Cross-sectional study with a convenience sample. Individuals with SCI from a rehabilitation center who wanted to participate in the study answered the Perception of Accessibility Questionnaire for people with disabilities and a Questionnaire on demographics and health. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed on the data (p < 0.05). 98 individuals participated in the study, 73.5% men. All participants considered that the Government is responsible for ensuring the quality of accessibility and see social disrespect as something that undermines accessibility; 80.6% stated that the public roads in their city do not have basic accessibility requirements; 59.2% move as little as possible to avoid difficulties, due to lack of accessibility; 87.8% state that their psychosocial well-being is negatively affected by the lack of accessibility. There was no difference in displacement between individuals with paraplegia and quadriplegia and between genders (p > 0.05). Women had greater knowledge of the legislation (p = 0.001). Most individuals with SCI do not travel for leisure, educational or professional activities and consider that their city does not have accessibility in public spaces.
