Abstract

The purpose of the research was to interpret the aging of people with motor disabilities from s Ignacio Sarmiento and Cooviobremco sectors in favor of their active aging. The paradigm is interpretive with ethnographic methodology. It uses as techniques the observation, interview and conversational, and as instrument the interview guide. The informants were 4 people of both sexes, selected by the sample of Hernández, Fernández and Baptista (2010) denominated "sampling of voluntary participants". For the analysis, categorization, triangulation, contrast and theorization were performed. Among the results are: the capacity to take on the changes of aging in spite of their disability, the development of a positive attitude in favor of their autonomy and independence, their capacity to make decisions and carry out life activities, the sense of belonging to their community when they participate in organized groups as well as, the sense of spirituality in the belief of God as guide to go ahead.
