Popis: Individuals with nervous system diseases frequently present sensory-motor and functional independence loss. It is known that patientswith the same pathology or similar injuries may present different incapacities; therefore, it is vital that professionals assisting neurological patientsevaluate the functional condition of this population to structure a suitable rehabilitation program. Thus, the aim of this work was to analyze thefunctional profile of patients with neurological diseases receiving physiotherapeutic treatment in the Centro de Promocao e Reabilitacao em Saudee Integracao Social – PROMOVE Sao Camilo –, verifying whether functional damage was related to injury topography and using for that the scale ofFunctional Independence Measurement (FIM). The sample was constituted by 93 patients; the most frequent neurological diagnosis was EncephalicVascular Accident (63%); injuries may be considered chronic (average time since the injury was 73.20 months). FIM average value was 65.81, showinga functionally independent or semidependent population, a classification found in all the analyzed groups (infra- and supratentorial segmental injuriesand segmental injuries). As a conclusion, there was no statistically significant differences among FIMs of patients having segmental, suprasegmentalinjuries and lesions in other regions of the nervous system, suggesting that for the studied population the factor “place of injury” has not interferedin patients functional prognosis. But considering the small FIM obtained, rachimedullary cervical traumatism was the incapacitating disease.
