Touchscreen technology possibilities for motor development and digital inclusion of people with Cerebral Paralisia

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the possibilities of touchscreen devices for driving stimulation of people with Cerebral Paralisia (PC) to contribute to the accessibility of design objects to the largest number of users following the premise of Universal Design. The methodological procedures employed were literature reviews of touchscreen technologies and therapies for people with Cerebral Paralisia and semi-structured interviews with professionals in the field of Fisiatria, physiotherapy, phonoaudiology, occupational therapy and physical education with experience in meeting the public concerned, active in the Catarinense Centre for Rehabilitation (CCR) of Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Looking at the aspects analysed, it was concluded that touchscreens present themselves as a tool to be grained, as they offer a greater variety of hand gestures than other computational assistive technology devices. The size and interface of touch screens were some of the main obstacles identified in the use of such technologies by patients with Paralisia Cerebral. It is therefore relevant, in the field of Design Universal, to explore the crossing between levels of driving behaviour of people with PCs and possible gestures on the canvas, so as to contribute to the advancement of accessibility on touchscreen devices not only to people with such neurological dysfunction, but also to the various related motive impairments.
