This scoping review addresses the role of functional limitations on evacuation performance of adults in public buildings. Although this topic has been addressed in evacuation research, no linkage is currently available between functional limitations, the predominant activities affected by them and evacuation performance. This review strives to open a debate on the need to classify the impact of disability in terms of functional limitations on evacuation performance according to methods adopted in health science. This paper reviews literature concerning evacuation from public buildings with adults aged ≥ 60 years and/or adults aged ≥ 18 years with functional limitations. The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health has been used to identify predominant activities during an evacuation and to perform a structured classification at different levels of resolution to address self-evacuation possibilities. Results of the review are presented in a tabular form linking predominant activities in terms of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health and six categories of functional limitations with the engineering evacuation time-line. The suggested classification can facilitate the assessment of the evacuation-related issues in buildings in relation to the population under consideration. The main research gaps identified include the lack of studies concerning the impact of cognitive limitations on egress, and the need to add the temporal dimension to the methods adopted in accessibility research to allow for their use in the egress field.

使用国际功能、残疾和健康分类对功能限制对疏散性能的作用进行审查

本范围审查解决了功能限制对公共建筑中成人疏散性能的作用。尽管疏散研究中已经讨论了这一主题，但目前在功能限制、受其影响的主要活动与疏散性能之间没有联系。本综述力求就是否需要根据健康科学中采用的方法，根据疏散性能的功能限制对残疾的影响进行分类展开辩论。本文回顾了有关从公共建筑中疏散 60 岁以上成年人和/或 18 岁以上功能受限的成年人的文献。国际功能分类，残疾和健康已被用于确定疏散期间的主要活动，并在不同分辨率级别执行结构化分类以解决自我疏散的可能性。审查结果以表格形式呈现，将国际功能、残疾和健康分类和六类功能限制方面的主要活动与工程疏散时间表联系起来。建议的分类有助于评估与所考虑人口相关的建筑物中与疏散相关的问题。确定的主要研究差距包括缺乏关于认知限制对出口的影响的研究，
