Abstract:	INTRODUCTION: The manual function devices are assistive technology solutions combined with the rehabilitation of people with cervical spinal cord injury. OBJECTIVE: To characterize satisfaction with the use of assistive technology devices, which compensate the hand function for activities of daily living (ADL) of people with tetraplegia. METHODS: The study was carried out in three stages: a systematic review, research on secondary data sources and an observational, analytical study performed at a reference center in the state of Goiás. Twenty individuals with cervical spinal cord injury, mean age of 36.80 years (SD = 15.99), who received devices for manual function compensation in ADL. As instruments of the research were used a script of semistructured interview, the Evaluation of predisposition to the use of Assistive Technology device - Brazil: ATD PA Br; and the User Satisfaction Assessment with Quebec Assistive Technology: B-Quest (2.0). DATA ANALYSIS: Descriptive statistics and frequency distributions, comparisons between sociodemographic profile variables, psychosocial factors and satisfaction with the use of assistive technology were performed using Student's t test and ANOVA variance analysis, and correlation analyzes between the variables investigated and the continuity of use. RESULTS: The study participants received, during the period investigated in the research, a total of 40 devices, used on average for 56.30 weeks. There was a predominance of devices to aid in feeding and writing. Significant results were found in the analyzes comparing age and the presence of positive psychosocial factors (p = 0.04), social classes and classification of the lesion, with satisfaction (p = 0.007; p = 0.004). Positive correlation between the number of weeks of use of the device and the goal attainment range (r = 0.46, p = 0.04), self-confidence (r = 0.50, p = 0.02), (r = 0.60, p = 0.006) and comfort in using close friends (r = 0.46, p = 0.04). DISCUSSION: The data suggest that the continuity of the use of assistive technology is associated with the fulfillment of expectations and satisfaction with the device. CONCLUSION: The study made it possible to know the satisfaction with the use of assistive technology of people with tetraplegia and to establish predictors of efficacy and efficiency related to the use of the devices. It is hoped that the results may contribute to the implementation of customer-centric assistive technology services protocols and consolidation of public policies that will assist this population that needs assistive technology to increase their functional independence.
