摘要:The investigation, accompaniment and interpretation of various motor skills and
the body composition of individuals with Spinal Cord Injury, can provide
valuable information not only to describe the diagnosis of the situation, but
also to identify and analyze determining factors for the establishment of
measures of adequate intervention. The objective of this study is to analyze
various motor skills and the body composition of individuals with Spinal Cord
Injury who practice athletics. Five subjects who practice athletics were
evaluated in the Municipal Clinic of Physiotherapy in the city of Itu/SP which
comprised part of the rehabilitation program through the practice of sports. The
evaluations done were tests of agility, coordination, force of palm pressure and
anthropometric tests to evaluate body composition. The results showed that of
the five subjects evaluated, in the evaluation of body composition, four
presented levels of body fat above the normal standards. In relation to the
motor skills, the test of beating the boards for the male subjects , the average
was 12.37 secs and the result for the female subjects was 17.45 secs. In the
agility test, the average for the males was 19.98 secs and for the females was
28.59 secs. In the test of Palm Pressure of the right and left hand the average
of the male subjects was 37.12 Kg and 33.72kg respectively. The results of the
females were 9.6 Kg and 7.3 Kg respectively. The importance of evaluating body
composition and the various motor skills of subjects with Spinal Cord Injury in
the practice of sports was evident. The evaluation of body composition permitted
us to prescribe physical activities which made for a better health condition
together with a reduction in food intake. The evaluation of various motor
skills, also permitted us to recommend physical training appropriate for the
kind of tests which they practiced.
