Resumo

Spinal cord injuries produce a loss in motor and sensitive functions, resulting in severe physical worsening. According to this, one of the emerging therapies nowadays is exoskeletons. The aim of this study is to know the applicability of exoskeletons in spinal cord injury. A systematic review was carried out during January and February 2018 in Cinhal, Medline and Scopus, using "Exoskeleton device" and “Spinal Cord Injuries” joined by “AND”. Before the exclusion and inclusion criteria, finally 14 studies were selected. Parameters analyzed were spasticity, pain, fatigue, mineral bone density, effort, security, comfortability and reliability. Positive results were found in patients with spinal cord injury, since exoskeletons produce benefits in the whole biopsicosocial area.
