“…O nível da lesão mais presente foi torácico e lombar de origem traumática resultados encontrados em poucos estudos da literatura como o de Nascimento et al (2017). No entanto, outros estudos apontam o nível cervical (LI et al, 2018;MELO-NETO et al, 2017;NULLE et al, 2017) e nível lombar (LOMAZ et al, 2017;LUNA;MENDOZA;OROPEZA, 2017), como o de maior prevalência.…”
