“…These data agree with those of Brazilian statistics regarding the gender and age group with the highest incidence of spinal cord injury. 10,29 As in the Dutch version, 22 the Brazilian version of the ESES, included a larger number of individuals with SCI of traumatic etiology, with predominance of lesions in the thoracic or lumbar segments. This predominance of individuals with paraplegia caused by trauma contrasts with what is indicated by the statistics for both Brazil and other countries.…”

“…The Brazilian version of the ESES, as well as the original 21 and Dutch 22 versions, presented good internal consistency. In the original version, Cronbach's alpha for a single application of the ESES was 0.87.…”

“…The values presented were α1 = 0.90 and α2 = 0.88. 22 In the Brazilian version, the ESES was applied three times at three-month intervals and values above 0.80 were found in all three applications. The scores in the three applications of the ESES-Brazil showed no statistically significant differences (p = 0.796), thus indicating good responsiveness of the Brazilian version in the sample studied.…”

“…19,20 In the absence of a specific instrument for the study of self-efficacy for exercise in individuals with SCI, in 2007 Kroll and colleagues published the first assessment tool for measuring self-efficacy in exercise for this population in the English language, the Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES). 21 Following its development, the ESES was crossculturally adapted and validated for the Netherlands in 2013 by Nooijen et al, 22 where it is considered a valid and reliable instrument.…”

Material and Methods:The Exercise Self-Efficacy scale was applied to 76 subjects, with three-month intervals (three applications in total). The reliability was appraised using the intra-class correlation coefficient and Bland-Altman methods, and the internal consistency was evaluated using Cronbach´s alpha. The Exercise Self-Efficacy scale was correlated with the domains of the Quality of life Questionnaire SF-36 and Functional Independence Measure and tested using the Spearman rho coefficient.Results: The Exercise Self-Efficacy scale-Brazil presented good internal consistency (alpha 1 = 0.856; alpha 2 = 0.855; alpha 3 = 0.822) and high reliability in the test-retest (intra-class correlation coefficient = 0.97). There was a strong correlation between the Exercise Self-Efficacy scale-Brazil and the SF-36 only in the functional capacity domain (rho = 0.708). There were no changes in Exercise Self-Efficacy scale-Brazil scores between the three applications (p = 0.796). Discussion: The validation of the Exercise Self-Efficacy scale questionnaire permits the assessor to use it reliably in Portuguese speaking countries, since it is the first instrument measuring self-efficacy specifically during exercises in individuals with spinal cord injury. Furthermore, the questionnaire can be used as an instrument to verify the effectiveness of interventions that use exercise as an outcome. Conclusion:The results of the Brazilian version of the Exercise Self-Efficacy scale support its use as a reliable and valid measurement of exercise self-efficacy for this population.

As the functions of the spinal cord differ in regard to the segment and structure,
