Research

Our scientific strategy will be organized according to two complementary objectives which will be enriched according to a recursive model :

  • Investigate disabilities processes and their interactions (interactions between impairments, activity, participation, and personal and environmental factors), which will provide the most relevant coping strategies that impact on health outcomes.
  • Evaluate and validate home care strategies (prevention, restoration and compensation). By identifying which processes they act on, this will enrich the understanding of the mechanisms of disability production

Research Themes: The aim of the team is centered on the preservation of autonomy at home in real life. Based on the results obtained, we have redefined the scientific approach by bringing us closer to the concepts of the International Classification of Functioning (ICF – World Health Organization 2003). In other hand, we study disability processes (according to the ICF concepts) in order to better define the management strategies (prevention, restoration and compensation). Considering the constitution of the team, the approach is focused on the health problem and its consequences on the impairments, the activity and the participation
