摘要：Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is expanding in the health fi eld and triggering changes in the relationship between professionals and patients. Considering the current relevance of this issue, this study was conducted to identify the usage patterns and perceptions concerning the internet of people with acquired spinal cord injuries. Statistically signifi cant differences were found between the usage time and the infl uence of the internet before and after injury. Although the respondents’ usage pattern is similar to that of the general population, some particularities were identifi ed, which require the attention of specialized rehabilitation services in order to improve service routines. Further research is recommended at different levels of care delivery.
