Abstract Study design: Cross-sectional. Objective: To analyze the relationships between functional tests, arm strength and root mean square of surface electromyography EMG. Setting: Sao Paulo, Brazil. Methods: Twenty-four individuals with chronic tetraplegia participated.

Conclusion: Arm strength and EMG seem to be related to functional capabilities and independence in chronic tetraplegia. Introduction Persons with tetraplegia have severe function loss due to the lack of motor control and strength. Patients and methods Participants Twenty-four individuals with tetraplegia 23 males and one female selected from of the University Hospital were included in this study.

Procedures The clinical assessment of level and severity of injury was performed by the same clinician according to ASIA. Figure 1. Full size image. Results Of the 24 patients analyzed, nine did not undergo the dynamometry and EMG, and other three participants were not interviewed, because they could not attend the evaluation days, which two of them did not perform the MMT.

Table 2 Spearman correlation coefficients Full size table. Figure 2. Figure 3. Figure 4. Figure 5. The exercise program should be modified according to an individual's habitual physical activity, physical function, health status, exercise responses, and stated goals. Adults who are unable or unwilling to meet the exercise targets outlined here still can benefit from engaging in amounts of exercise less than recommended.

In addition to exercising regularly, there are health benefits in concurrently reducing total time engaged in sedentary pursuits and also by interspersing frequent, short bouts of standing and physical activity between periods of sedentary activity, even in physically active adults. Behaviorally based exercise interventions, the use of behavior change strategies, supervision by an experienced fitness instructor, and exercise that is pleasant and enjoyable can improve adoption and adherence to prescribed exercise programs.
