| Abstract |
To evaluate the impact of directed physical exercise in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and to measure functional independence before and after an exercise program. Case series. Tertiary care center. Thirteen volunteers with thoracic SCI. Patients participated in a 16-week exercise program, consisting of 3 weekly 120-minute sessions. They performed mobility, strength, coordination, aerobic resistance, and relaxation activities. The FIM instrument, arm crank exercise test, wheelchair skills, maximum strength, anthropometry (body composition measurements), and lipid levels. The results were processed by using nonparametric statistical tests. After comparing the values at the beginning and end of the program, patients showed a significant increase in the following parameters: average FIM score (p < .001) 113 +/- 7.1; weight lifted in the bench press exercise (46%, p < .0001), military press (14%, p < .0002), and butterfly press exercise (23%, p < .0001), and number of repetitions for biceps (10%, p <.0001), triceps (18%, p < .0001), shoulder abductors (61%, p < .0001), abdominals (33%, p <.009), and curl back neck exercise (19%, p < .0001). The maximum resistance achieved during the arm crank exercise test increased (p < .001), and heart rate 6 minutes after the exercise test decreased (p <.05). The time required for the wheelchair skill tests significantly decreased in all the tasks. No statistically significant changes occurred in body weight (p < .154), percentage of body fat (p < .156), lean body weight (p < .158), cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (p < .076), or maximum heart rate (p < .20). The only complication arose in a patient who developed transient sinus bradycardia and hypotension after the arm crank exercise test. The directed exercise program had a positive impact for most of the variables of the study. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 10 October 2017.
All research outputs
#17,286,379
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
#4,897
of 6,026 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#40,629
of 44,625 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
#29
of 32 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,026 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 44,625 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 4th percentile – i.e., 4% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 32 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
