Effects of FES-Ambulation Training on Locomotor Function and Health-Related Quality of Life in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury.
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The combination of body weight-supported gait training with functional electrical stimulation (FES) may provide the optimal stimulus for improving overground walking after spinal cord injury (SCI). This potential benefit is likely due to the combination of specificity with the maximization of muscle contractions.
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of 12 weeks of FES-ambulation on overground walking and health-related quality of …
