(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-07-08) Lopez Torres, Elvis Erick; Sanchez Martinez, Roxana; Pretell Aguilar, Rosa Maria
Materials and Methods: In the present study the type of research is qualitative and study design is a systematic review, the search has been restricted to articles with full text which were subjected to a critical reading, and were obtained from the Scielo database. , Cochrane Plus, Pubmed, Elsevier, Epistemonikos, using the GRADE assessment to identify their level of evidence. The population was 15 articles and the sample of 10 studies that correspond to 100% (10/10) of these 40% (4/10) are studies in Canada, 20% (2/10) correspond to studies of EE US, 20% (2/10) correspond to studies carried out in Brazil, and 10% (1/10) correspond to studies carried out in Japan and Mexico respectively. 60% (6/10) were previous systematic reviews, 30% (3/10) correspond to cohort studies and 10% (1/10) corresponds to a retrospective study. Results: 60% (6/10) of the studies conclude that it is not effective since no motor and sensory recovery was found in patients treated with methylprednisolone sodium succinate. 40% (4/10) of the studies show that the treatment with methylprednisolone sodium succinate is effective, because it improved motor score and neurological status in patients with acute spinal cord injury. Conclusions: it is concluded that methylprednisolone sodium succinate is not effective in patients with acute spinal cord injury.

Physical Activity and Quality of Life in Spinal Cord Injuries with Paraplegia from the National Federation of Physical Disability, 2022
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-11-25) Menéndez Soto, Irma Noelia; Cautín Martinez, Noemi Esther
Spinal cord injury is one of the most disabling conditions, and after spinal shock, most patients opt for a sedentary lifestyle due to fear of further complications, resulting in general multisystemic deterioration and an increase in associated problems. The National Federation of Physical Disabilities (FEDENADIF) oversees eight high-competition sports disciplines, which involve conditioning and training. The population will consist of 153 people. The research method will be hypothetical-deductive with a non-experimental, correlational, and cross-sectional design. Two instruments will be applied: the PASIPD C Physical Activity Questionnaire for people with disabilities and the SF-36v2 modified quality of life questionnaire for spinal cord injury patients, whose results may show the effectiveness of physical exercise in improving health, which should be included in the treatment of spinal cord injury patients, as it demonstrates the level of performance within their functional activities.
