- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method It is expected that, in individuals with spinal cord injury, there is a decrease in frequency variability<br>(HRV) with a predominance of parasympathetic modulation, in addition to increased adaptation time<br>during postural changes of sedation for orthostatism when compared to healthy individuals
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method In individuals with spinal cord injury, a better autonomic adjustment (greater variability of heart rate) is expected if postural change is associated with a virtual cognitive task
