Abstract
|
|
|
Attainment of the goals of functional electrical stimulation(FES) applications such as strengthening of muscle, increasing muscular endurance, improvement in joint range of motion or the reduction of spasticity does not insure that patients will be able to produce voluntary muscle contraction sufficient to maintain posture or produce purposeful movements.
In many patients who have sustained CNS-damage, the control exerted by higher nervous system center over muscle contraction may impair. In Searched patients, a variety of advanced therapeutic exercise techniques have been employed traditionally to facilitate the return of controlled functional muscular activity--.; or maintain; postural alignment until recovery from dysfunction occurs
Among the most common clinical applications of FES for functional muscle contraction is as a substitute for static or dynamic orthotic devices
