Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Experimental Group: participants of both sexes; age between 20 to 60 years; diagnosis clinical picture of complete and / or incomplete spinal cord injury; minimum injury time of one year; etiology of traumatic injury; sedentary. Control group: participants of both sexes; age between 20 to 60 years; without any type of disability; sedentary.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Experiment Group: participants with significant orthopedic impairments that could limit sitting posture (such as severe contractures or cutaneous lesions on the lower limbs); present devices for spinal stabilization that limits mobility; osteoporosis; uncontrolled cardiovascular instability; neurological disorders other than spinal cord injury (for example, stroke); Disease Alzheimer's; Vascular Dementia; Mixed Dementia; Lewy Bodies Dementia; Frontotemporal dementia; clinical diagnosis of depression; use of antidepressant drugs and cognitive impairment. Control group: participants with significant orthopedic damage that could limit sitting posture (such as severe contractures or cutaneous lesions on the lower limbs); present devices for spinal stabilization that limits mobility; osteoporosis; uncontrolled cardiovascular instability; neurological disorders other than spinal cord injury (for example, stroke); Disease Alzheimer's; Vascular Dementia; Mixed Dementia; Lewy Bodies Dementia; Frontotemporal dementia; clinical diagnosis of depression; use of antidepressant drugs and cognitive impairment.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: Greater activation of brain activity or brain frequency during the use of motor imagery associated with Virtual Reality when compared to motor imagery without the use of virtual reality, in both groups. These measures will be demonstrated through the psychophysiological variables (stress, engagement, interest, focus, excitement and relaxation), measured by the portable electroencephalogram or neural helmet. The comparison of brain frequencies in the two groups (experimental and control) will be performed when used with virtual reality and without virtual reality, through the Wilcoxon test, being considered 95% statistical significance.;Expected outcome 2: Better quality of life for individuals in the control group when compared to the experiment group, measured using the World Health Organization Quality of life Instrument Bref, the WHOQOL-Bref and verified through high scores in this questionnaire. Statistical analysis will be performed using the Wilcoxon test and will be considered as the highest quality of life, if it finds 95% statistical significance. The measurement will be performed pre-intervention in sixteen individuals, eight from the experimental group and eight from the control group.;Expected outcome 3: Lower pain level in the control group when compared to the experiment group, measured using the Visual Analogue Pain Scale. Statistical analysis will be performed using the Wilcoxon test and 95% statistical significance will be considered. The measurement will be performed pre-intervention in sixteen individuals, eight from the experimental group and eight from the control group. | — |
