Functional electrical stimulation therapies after spinal cord injury.
The use of electricity for therapeutic purposes dates back to 15 AD, when Scribonius Largus, a court physician to the Roman emperor Claudius began using electric shocks from the torpedo ray fish to treat gout pain and headaches [1]. Although the phenomenon of electricity had been used for centuries the actual word “electricity” was not in use until the 1600’s, when William Gilbert, an English p...
متن کاملFunctional electrical stimulation for incomplete spinal cord injury.
This case report describes the early use of functional electrical stimulation on an individual with an incomplete spinal cord injury to assist with motor recovery and a return to ambulation. A 32-year-old woman sustained a C7 burst fracture after a fall, requiring anterior cervical fixation from C6 to T1 prior to transfer to acute rehabilitation.

متن کاملElectrical stimulation in spinal cord injury.
The use of electricity to stimulate nerves or muscles is nothing new. In the 18th century Galvani recognized that electricity could be converted into "nerve force". Numerous applications of electrical stimulation have been explored, most notably cardiac pacing, cochlear implants or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) units for pain control. Spinal cord injury (SCI), with its "tra...
متن کاملLower extremity functional electrical stimulation cycling promotes physical and functional recovery in chronic spinal cord injury.
OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of long-term lower extremity functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycling on the physical integrity and functional recovery in people with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). DESIGN Retrospective cohort, mean follow-up 29.1 months, and cross-sectional evaluation. SETTING Washington University Spinal Cord Injury Neurorehabilitation Center, referral center. ...
متن کاملCombining biological and electrical stimulation therapies following spinal cord injury
Stem Cells for Recovery of Human Central Nervous System Function. " In response to the Route 28 challenge, we propose a novel combinatorial treatment approach using multiple biological interventions in conjunction with controlled electrical stimulation to enhance the benefits of a cellular replacement strategy. Using an aligned polymer scaffold seeded with embryonic neural stem cells, we aim to...
