Abstract :
Background: Given the worldwide pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2, this study sought to understand how people with spinal cord
injury (SCI) perceive the post-pandemic context.
Objectives: We aimed to understand the perceptions of people with SCI in Brazil regarding the world in the post-pandemic context.
Methods: This qualitative study was conducted on SCI Brazilians using a form published on SurveyMonkey® with questions re-
garding their perspectives on the post-pandemic world. The responses were analyzed considering Bardin, Axel Honneth, and Ernst
Bloch.
Results: The results demonstrated that the lives of SCI people in Brazil did not change during the pandemic, as they were already
isolated due to the lack of accessibility.
Conclusions: Imagining future scenarios following the pandemic is highly complex; however, the present can be understood as a
moment to reflect on how humanity has developed thus far, especially concerning impaired accessibility and the pervasive lack of
empathy and solidarity.
