Abstract:
Introduction: An ependymoma tumor is not much common in the adult population and it may appear in the brain or the spinal cord when it does. The tumor’s extension can cause a spinal cord injury that leads to an alteration of the motor-sensitive and autonomic function from the level of the injury and below. The impact it has in young adults and elderly people as well as the complexity of the cases, makes really important to give much more attention to this kind of injuries in the sanitary system. Objectives: To verify the efficacy of a global physiotherapy treatment on a patient with a spinal cord injury with seven years of evolution.
