Costa, V.S.P., Effects of an elastic abdominal binder on the respiratory function in individuals with high spinal cord injury at the orthostatic position. 2005. 97p. Master Thesis (Master’s Degree) – Ribeirão Preto Nursing School, São Paulo University, Ribeirão Preto, 2005. Spinal cord injury is one of the most severe injuries that someone can experience. The personal and social impacts are deeply significant as they cause a permanent disability to the injured person. When the spinal cord injury takes place it results in a nervous deficit below the injury site by loss of upper spinal control. There are many consequences of the changes to the respiratory biomechanics, due to the injury above the sixth thoracic segment, such as the superficial respiratory capacity, cough and sneeze inefficiency, mucociliary clearance changes and abdominal complacence increase. These complications cause volume, capacity and pressure disturbances that make it difficult to put tetraplegic and paraplegic individuals with high thoracic injury into a standing up position, even with the assistance of devices like the orthostatic table. The vital capacity, the tidal volume, the maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressures and the oxygen saturation were measured to ascertain the effect of the elastic abdominal binder to the respiratory function of individuals with spinal cord injury at the orthostatic position on 60o and 60o/90o angulations. 56 individuals were chosen, mostly men, at the average age of 35.4 and higher motor frequency injury at the T4. They were divided into four different groups according to the binder use and the orthostatic table angulation’s. Results did not show statistic significance to using or not using the binder between the groups. However, the averages of the groups that used the binder were the highest in all the measurements. It can be said that the binder did not interfere to the significant improvement of the respiratory patterns. In spite of that, many people say they prefer to use the binder as an abdominal support that provides stability to the body when they are standing up. Randomized clinic studies should be done to measure the elastic abdominal binder effects provided to the individuals with spinal cord injuries that often use it into the orthostatic position.
