Abstract

The present study aims to systematically review about of physical self-concept (ACF) of people with disabilities (PCD) in adulthood and to identify instruments used to analyze this construct. As methodological procedures of the work, searches were carried out in different databases, covering the entire period of existence of the databases until September 2017. The process followed the PRISMA FlowDiagram recommendations and the articles were classified according to quality criteria adapted from the STROBE instrument. Nine articles reached the final analysis of the study. The results demonstrated six different instruments for analyzing the ACF of adult PCDs, with only two instruments being validated; two articles analyzed the PCA of intellectual PCD, two articles of motor PCD, three articles analyzed different deficiencies and two studies evaluated the ACF of people with and without disabilities. It is concluded that there is a shortage of instruments that assess the ACF of people with disabilities.
