Abstract

The objectives of this study were to obtain values ​​for the 6-minute pegboard and ring test (6PBRT) in a sample of individuals with neurological dysfunction, to compare these values ​​with healthy adult reference values ​​and to verify the association of 6PBRT with trunk control. Cross-sectional study with 31 individuals of both sexes with neurological dysfunction attended at a neurofunctional rehabilitation clinic linked to the federal university. Individuals performed the 6PBRT and were evaluated through the trunk impairment scale (TIS). The values obtained in 6PBRT by individuals with neurological dysfunction were lower than those of healthy adults in all age groups studied (p < 0.05). There was moderate impairment of the trunk. There was no correlation between 6PBRT and TIS (r = 0.269; p = 0.144). According to predicted values ​​for a healthy population, patients with neurological dysfunction, even in a rehabilitation program, have a lower than expected functional performance and endurance for their age range. The 6PBRT is a simple, fast and inexpensive test, useful for neurofunctional rehabilitation, as it is similar to activities of daily living; however it did not correlate with TIS.
