Disability studies show that the paradigms of efficiency, work and productivity of adults are built from ableist perspectives that do not consider the physical, sensory, psychosocial and intellectual diversities. Imposed on people with disabilities, these expectations can lead to an erosion of their full-adult personhood, which is constructed from the significance of the social and work environment. This research seeks to explore how people with physical disabilities experience and signify their personhood in the face of changes and continuities in their work trajectories. It analyzes their labor trajectories and their bodily itineraries; the construction of narratives around their body and work expectations; in addition to the resignification and reconstruction of the embodied experience within their recovery processes. For this purpose, a phenomenological approach is considered, which conceptualizes the body as an active agent and a source of subjectivity, as well as a constitutive dimension of the self. From an ethnographic approach, the research studied six case studies of adults with upper limb disabilities residing in Lima (Peru).
