Summary

One of the main objectives in spinal cord injury rehabilitation programs is the improvement of trunk control in order to achieve independence, to prevent complications and, in specific cases to walk.

Research question: What is the effect of kayak ergometer training in trunk control, cardiovascular condition and independence in individuals with a spinal cord injury? Purpose: To determine the effect of kayak ergometer training in trunk control, cardiovascular condition and independence in individuals with a spinal cord injury.

Methods: Randomized clinical trial, blinded to evaluator and to the person that will analyze data.

Population: Spinal cord injured individuals treated at the National Institute of Rehabilitation, with a spinal cord injury of any ethiology, with a neurologic level of C8 and below, with time since injury from three months to one year.

Proceeding: The subjects will be randomly assigned to : a control group with neuro propioceptive facilitation exercises focused in trunk control or an experimental group with kayak ergometer training. Both groups will recieve 5 sessions a week during 6 weeks.

Conditions

  • Spinal Cord Injuries

Interventions

OTHER

kAYAK ERGOMETER GROUP

Kayak ergometer training for 30 min 5 times a week for 6 weeks. The training includes a warming (pre charge) during 3 minutes, a training (charge) characterised by 3-5 intervals with medium to high intensity during 2-4 minutes and pauses of 1-2 minutes between active phases and 2 minutes of cooling down (post charge) to complete 30 minutes of training.

OTHER

CONTROL GROUP

Proprioceptive neurofacilitation exercises focused in trunk control during 30 minutes 5 times a week for 6 weeks.
