Resumo: Assistive Technology is a broad science related to planning and designing products, such as adaptive devices aiming the enhancement of performance of activities by disabled people. In the development countries such as Brazil, this products have limited application because its high cost makes the treatment expensive. In a way of minimize this problem, Brazilian occupational therapists have been using, in the clinical management, low cost prefabricated products and alternative materials to manufacture adaptations. This review presents an analysis of scientific work written between 2000 and 2008 about the utilization of low cost adaptations. The analysis considered eight questions related to the materials used, the adaptations efficacy, psychosocial aspects, cosmetics, materials proprieties, selection and prescription process, confection and socioeconomics aspects involved in the device utilization. It was concluded in the elaboration of this work that the low cost adaptations are important resources enhancing the disabled people performance, being designed and applied by Brazilian occupational therapists to equip this population with opportunities in a way of contribute to their well being and independence.

A Tecnologia Assistiva é uma ciência ampla e que está relacionada com o planejamento e a concepção de produtos, entre estes as adaptações, que favorecem a execução de atividades das pessoas com deficiência. Em países em desenvolvimento como o Brasil estes produtos são utilizados de forma restrita devido ao alto custo que agregam ao tratamento. Para minimizar esta dificuldade os terapeutas ocupacionais brasileiros têm utilizado, em contexto de intervenção, produtos pré-fabricados e de baixo custo e adaptações confeccionados com material alternativo. Este artigo de revisão de literatura apresenta uma análise dos trabalhos científicos brasileiros escritos por terapeutas ocupacionais no período de 2000 a 2008, sobre a utilização de adaptações de baixo custo. A análise foi realizada sob a perspectiva de oito questionamentos os quais se referem aos materiais utilizados, à eficácia das adaptações, aos aspectos psicossociais, a estética, as propriedades dos materiais, o processo de seleção e prescrição, a confecção e os aspectos socioeconômicos que envolveram a aplicação do dispositivo. Com a elaboração deste trabalho concluiu-se que as adaptações de baixo custo são importantes recursos para favorecer o desempenho da pessoa com deficiência e são criadas e usadas pelos terapeutas ocupacionais brasileiros para equiparar as oportunidades desta população de maneira a contribuir com o bem estar e independência da mesma.
