Conditions

spinal cord injury

Interventions

This is a two-arm randomized controlled trial with 36 individuals diagnosed with spinal cord injury (SCI). The randomization procedure will be carried out by drawing lots, in which the participants wi
however, they will not be aware of which intervention the participant will be performing at the time of their measurements. Both groups will carry out a training program on the mmss cycle ergometer 3

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to achieve physical conditioning on the portable cycle ergometer compared to the professional one

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find a 30% increase in performance in field/functional tests;;We expect to see a 30% improvement in muscle strength, quality of life and functionality measured by dynamometry and scales, respectively;We expect to find a 50% reduction in sleep disturbances, depression and fatigue measured by scales
