Abstract
RAMIREZ RAMIREZ, Carolina et al. Instrumentos utilizados para la identificación y/o medición de las barreras ambientales que experimentan las personas con discapacidad física y sus propiedades psicométricas. Rev. Univ. Ind. Santander. Salud [online]. 2014, vol.46, n.1, pp.71-83. ISSN 0121-0807.
The environment is a factor influencing participation of people with physical disabilities (PPD) in different situations. This article describes the instruments used in international studies to identify and/or measure the environment barriers that PDP experience and the psychometric properties that have been evaluated in each one of them. Some of these instruments are based on subjective of the evaluator (self-report), and others evaluate in an objective way through the direct observation of an expert. Based on the review presented, looks to draw attention about the importance that could have studies realized with this topic in our context
