Study Design: Retrospective cohort. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between the level and completeness of the injury with Functional Independence Measure (FIM) score and the validity and responsiveness of the FIM in Brazilian individuals with spinal cord injury admitted to rehabilitation. Setting: SARAH Network of Rehabilitation Hospitals, Brasília, Brazil. Methods: A total of 218 patients with spinal cord injury admitted for rehabilitation in 2006 was included in this study. The validity was assessed as the ability of the FIM to discriminate different levels of disability (cervical, thoracic and lumbar) at admission and the responsiveness was obtained by analyzing admission and discharge data for each of the three injury groups. Results: Total FIM score, motor FIM score and each of the 13 items were valid when comparing three groups and comparing groups two by two, except the items 'eating' and 'grooming' among paraplegics, and 'stairs' at cervical and thoracic levels. The scale was not responsive to the five cognitive items, 'stairs' and 'eating', among paraplegics, or 'grooming', 'bathing' and 'dressing upper body' in lumbar level patients. The patient difficulty in performing tasks can vary among populations. Therefore, the continuous evaluation process of psychometric characteristics is important to validate the use of the instrument in different contexts.

RESUMENLa lesión medular es una entidad neurológica causante de importantes procesos de discapacidad. Su incidencia en el país puede estar cercana a los mayores estimativos mundiales debido a las condiciones actuales de violencia. El aumento de la expectativa de vida de esta población -gracias a los avances tecnológicos y científicos en prevención, atención y manejo de complicaciones-lleva a la necesidad de proveer servicios de rehabilitación integrales que trasciendan los aspectos funcionales y permitan la inclusión social. Para este propósito es necesario un abordaje integral de la situación, que en el ámbito de la evaluación debe incluir no sólo la estimación de la condición de salud, sino todo lo relacionado con el funcionamiento de las personas en su vida diaria. La clasificación internacional del funcionamiento, la discapacidad y la salud, brinda un marco conceptual para abordar la discapacidad y el funcionamiento humano relacionado con la salud desde un enfoque biopsicosocial que articula las dimensiones corporal, individual y social de las personas y su relación con los factores del ambiente. Este enfoque de abordaje, plasmado en el instrumento de evaluación denominado WHO-DAS II, se considera un referente importante para evaluar la discapacidad asociada a la lesión medular.

Its incidence in Colombia is possibly among the highest in the world, given the current level of violence. The increased life expectancy for this group, thanks to technological and scientific progress with respect to prevention, care and treatment of complications, has created the need for comprehensive rehabilitation services that go beyond functional aspects and enable patients to rejoin society. This demands a holistic approach to the situation, including not only an

Out-patient rehabilitation programme for spinal cord injured patients: Evaluation of the results on motor FIM score

Abstract: Good functional evolution of SCI patients and low morbidity can be obtained with a low-cost out-patient rehabilitation programme. Such a programme must emphasize patient and family education concerning self-care and possible SCI complications.
