Abstract
Brachial plexus injury (BLP) is a condition associated with a series of limitations in activities of daily living. Therapies employing physical exercise programs are frequently used in the rehabilitation of these patients. The objective of the research was to identify the level of pain and adherence to physical exercises in adults with BLP. Descriptive and exploratory design with a quantitative approach. The Exercise Adherence Assessment Scale (EARS-Br) and the Behavioral Pain Scale were used. 46 patients with BLP participated. The predominance was male (54.3%) and the mean age was 30.21 years. Adherence behavior was higher in those who did most or all of the proposed exercises, for those who used to do the exercises according to the recommended frequency and for those who fit the exercises into their routine. The main reasons for adherence to exercise were to enjoy them and to improve health. The frequency with which the exercises were performed influenced adherence, being higher in those who did it every day, followed by those who performed it four to six times and two to three days a week (p=0.05). The most frequent perception was that pain is not forgotten but does not prevent activities of daily living (34.8%). A lower adherence was observed in those who categorized pain with the highest score. In this study, adherence to physical exercise was higher in those who exercised daily and who did not feel pain in their activities of daily living.
