Abstract
Introduction
Spinal cord injury (SCI), especially at cervical and upper thoracic levels, impairs cardiovascular autonomic regulation, resulting in changes in heart rate (HR) and responses to postural stimuli. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a noninvasive method used to assess this modulation.
Objective
To analyze HRV in adult patients with spinal cord injury during hospital hospitalization, comparing individuals with injuries above and below the T5 level in different body positions.
