Abstract
Objective: To describe how the CIREN physical exercise program influences gait and transfers in spinal cord injured patients.
Materials and methods: According to the methodological design, the type of study is experimental, according to the study method, it is observational taking into account the time of occurrence of the events and the recording of the information. For the development of the research, a sample of 15 patients with injury levels between T1 and T6 who met the inclusion criteria was selected.
Results: Statistically significant changes in gait and transfers were observed in the group; by injury levels, injuries between T1 and T6 did not present changes in stair management and transfers from the floor to the chair; by sex, both men and women did not show statistically significant changes in stair handling and floor-to-chair transfers.
Conclusions: The exercise program used in the rehabilitation of patients is effective in being able to produce changes in the activities related to walking and transfers. Rehabilitation time should be increased for injuries above T6.
