ABSTRACT The objective of the study was to evaluate and compare the level of pain and the perceptions of effort of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) and individuals without disabilities during the application of motor imagery associated with virtual reality (VR). It was an analytical interventional case-control study, involving 16 individuals, divided into two groups, with eight individuals in each, being an experimental group (EG) and a control group (CG). The individuals performed a virtual walk using stereoscopic glasses and the Subjective Exercise Experience Scale (EESE) and the Visual Analog Pain Scale (VAS) were applied. Pain was present in 87.5% of the EG and in 37.5% of the CG. In both groups, the highest EESE scores were related to the "psychological well-being" domain, being statistically significant. Thus, it can be concluded that the motor imaging activity associated with VR was satisfactory in promoting well-being for individuals with SCI.
