This was a cross-sectional, quantitative study conducted to identify cohesion, adaptability, flexibility and family functioning of people with spinal cord injury in three cities of Florianópolis, using the family APGAR and Olson scales.

Despite the difficulties encountered with the injury, most families showed good functioning (61.4%) with 16.1% to 22.5% severe and mild dysfunction, with balanced cohesion and flexibility, which were not related to the presence of low satisfaction and communication. The selected tools, applied together, proved suitable.
