Abstract

Abstract: Disability is defined as restrictions on a person's maneuverability, physical operations, agility, or endurance that have long-term detrimental effects on a person's capacity to do routine everyday activities Objectives: This article intends to determine the QOL in differently-abled populations and review the literature related to the quality of life in differently-abled people and highlight the need for improving their lifestyle. Methodology: According to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) criteria, this study was carried out. Articles from January 2017 through July 2022 will be covered. For this review, two databases—PubMed and MDPI—were used. The searches started in August 2022. The last five years were designated as the period for the included studies. Results: Of 14 final papers, various categories were created. With few overlaps, two studies focused on customized healthcare services for older, physically disabled people. Three studies focused on the importance of interventions in exercise. Three studies focused on how improvements in wheelchair control mechanisms affected their lives. Four studies focused on using technology to address their needs and accessibility to better services. One study focused on genetic testing of the disabled. One study focused on the ontology model for the rescue of LTC residents. Conclusion: QOL of handicaps can be improved by taking multiple steps such as increasing their leisure activities, interventions in exercise, increased access to the disabled and tailored health services according to their individual needs, SSVEP powered wheelchair control mechanism, their genetic testing and adoption of pre-warning methods to cater to their needs.
