Abstract
|
|
|
Functional electrical stimulation(FES)is known to increase muscle bulk and strength and prevent muscle atrophy in complete paraplegic patients. And other benefits include peripheral adaptations which improves muscle endurance, girth, and
appearance, as
well as central circulatory adaptation which enhances aerobic(cardiopulmonary) capacity.
Good candidates from FES include spinal cord injured patints who have clinical complete upper motor neuron lesion between T4-T12. But we experienced incomplete L1 paraplegic patients who has improved maximal knee extension power, endurance,
circumference and cross-sectional area of the thigh and the shank after FES-induced exercise for 44 weeks. So we recommend more trial of the FES-induced exercise to not only complete but also incomplete lumbar paraplegic patients.
