| description | Objective: to relate the motor deficiencies acquired by motorcyclist accident victims to the severity of the traumas suffered. Method: a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study based on secondary data extracted from 439 reports of motorcycle accidents in the state of Pernambuco in 2016. The Condensed Abbreviated Injury Scale was used to assess the severity of the injuries, and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for the classification. Descriptive statistical analysis of the data was performed. Results: alteration in the mobility of the joints prevailed in the motorcyclists with low severity (73.7%), and alterations in bone mobility, gait pattern and muscle strength prevailed in motorcyclists who presented a serious, life threatening risk (88.9% 77.8% and 33.3%, respectively). Conclusion: the findings reflect the magnitude of motorcycle accidents, and the need for preventive strategies and health promotion. |
