Materials and Methods: 96 participants with SCI (40 cervical and 56 thoracolumbar) and 63 able-bodied controls performed a simple hand isometric task to assess motor fatigability. The Fatigue Severity Scale was used for perceived fatigability evaluation. Results: The main results of this study can be summarized as follows: (1) the waning in muscle force (motor fatigability) during a fatiguing task is similar in controls and participants with SCI; (2) the motor fatigability is influenced by the maximal muscle force (measured at the beginning of the task); and (3) the perceived fatigability and the motor fatigability are largely independent in the individuals with SCI. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the capability to maintain a prolonged effort is preserved in SCI, and this capacity depends on the residual maximal muscle force in people with SCI.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11175108","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,31]],"date-time":"2022-08-31T00:13:56Z","timestamp":1661904836000},"page":"5108","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Hand Motor Fatigability Induced by a Simple Isometric Task in Spinal Cord Injury"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Ana","family":"Onate-Figu\u00e9rez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"FENNSI Group, National Hospital for Paraplegics, SESCAM, 45071 Toledo, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Universidad de Castilla La Mancha, 45071 Toledo, Spain"},{"name":"GIFTO Group, Faculty of Physiotherapy and Nursing, Universidad de Castilla La Mancha (UCLM), 45071 Toledo, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2534-5369","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vanesa","family":"Soto-Le\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"FENNSI Group, National Hospital for Paraplegics, SESCAM, 45071 Toledo, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8760-3490","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan","family":"Avenda\u00f1o-Coy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Universidad de Castilla La Mancha, 45071 Toledo, Spain"},{"name":"GIFTO Group, Faculty of Physiotherapy and Nursing, Universidad de Castilla La Mancha (UCLM), 45071 Toledo, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3754-2279","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laura","family":"Mordillo-Mateos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"FENNSI Group, National Hospital for Paraplegics, SESCAM, 45071 Toledo, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Universidad de Castilla La Mancha, 45071 Toledo, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yolanda A.","family":"P\u00e9rez-Borrego","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"FENNSI Group, National Hospital for Paraplegics, SESCAM, 45071 Toledo, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carolina","family":"Redondo-Gal\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rehabilitation Department, National Hospital for Paraplegics, SESCAM, 45071 Toledo, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9029-5310","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pablo","family":"Arias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade da Coru\u00f1a, NEUROcom (Neuroscience and Motor Control Group), Department of Physiotherapy, Medicine and Biomedical Sciences-INEF Galicia, 15001 A Coru\u00f1a, Spain"},{"name":"Biomedical Institute of A Coru\u00f1a (INIBIC), 15001 A Coru\u00f1a, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"Oliviero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"FENNSI Group, National Hospital for Paraplegics, SESCAM, 45071 Toledo, Spain"},{"name":"Advanced Rehabilitation Unit, Hospital Los Madro\u00f1os, 28690 Brunete, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"523","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.sc.3101893","article-title":"Incidence, prevalence and epidemiology of spinal cord injury: What learns a worldwide literature survey?","volume":"44","author":"Wyndaele","year":"2006","journal-title":"Spinal Cord"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"373","DOI":"10.1038\/sc.2011.150","article-title":"Secondary health conditions in individuals aging with SCI: Terminology, concepts and analytic approaches","volume":"50","author":"Jensen","year":"2012","journal-title":"Spinal Cord"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"205","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpsychores.2012.07.005","article-title":"Fatigue and tiredness in people with spinal cord injury","volume":"73","author":"Craig","year":"2012","journal-title":"J.
