Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that, in individuals with spinal cord injury, there is a decrease in frequency variability (HRV) with a predominance of parasympathetic modulation, in addition to increased adaptation time during postural changes of sedation for orthostatism when compared to healthy individuals | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In individuals with spinal cord injury, a better autonomic adjustment (greater variability of heart rate) is expected if postural change is associated with a virtual cognitive task | — |
