Sponsor's own description

Spinal cord injury is caused by any harmful process in the spinal cord, impairing its function, generating loss of muscle strength, impairing orthostatism and walking. In rehabilitation, some strategies are used to activate the muscles involved in the gait of these individuals, including the ergometric bicycle and the elliptical. Understanding the pattern of muscle activation generated by these methods is important to answer questions arising from clinical practice. Thus, we seek to verify the pattern of muscle activation of the vastus laterals, vastus medialis, gluteus medius, tibialis previous, rectus abdominis and paravertebral muscles during exercises with ellipticals and ergometric bicycle with and without electromyography biofeedback in individuals with spinal cord injury. Cross-sectional study of the type crossover. Individuals will sign the Informed Consent Form (FICF) and answer the identification form. They will be evaluated for functionality using the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), injury classification by the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) and muscle tone by the modified Ashworth scale. Later, they will be randomized to define the order of the devices in which they will be evaluated. Muscle activity will be verified with electromyography of the paravertebral, abdominal, vastus laterals, vastus medialis, gluteus medius and tibialis anterior unilateral muscles on the right side of individuals, comparing muscle activation during exercise cycling, elliptical and adding biofeedback in both modalities. The wash-out interval between each evaluation will be 7 days. We hypothesize that the elliptical with biofeedback will cause greater activation of the assessed muscles.
