Introduction

There are small the studies that long-term generals present functional results in patients in a coma prolonged. The evidence is almost void on mobility and ambulation after severe injuries.

Objective

to know the level of ambulaci贸n in adults with cerebral injury that they emerged of minimally conscious state and to detect initial variables in those who could differ.

Methods

Adults with cerebral acquired injury after emerging of the condition of minimally conscious state inside the Program of Sensory and Motor Stimulation (PSMS) in FLENI between 2005 and 2008.

Was measured at one year of injury with the level of functional ambulation category (FAC) and the use of gait devices. Depending on the level of ambulation, we compared demographic variables, time of evolution, minimally conscious and the Coma Recovery Scale-Revised (CRS-R) and initial motor subscale.

Results

16 male patients, 14 of traumatic. Year, 6 (38%) walked alone(FAC 鈮?#xA0;3). There were no differences (p 鈮?#xA0;0,05) among those who walked and those who do not for the variables age, cause of injury, initial and CRS-R minimally conscious time. The time of injury at admission statistically significant differences between the two groups (median: 41 vs. 69,5 days, p = 0,04).

Discussion

The ambulation was variable, having a significant percentage of patients with acquired brain injury who fails to do so without assistance. The time of injury at admission of the stimulation is to study as a predictor variable.
