Electrical 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 کاملFunctional electrical stimulation therapies after spinal cord injury.

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. She presented as a C8 AIS B spinal cord injury, ...
متن کاملFunctional Electrical Stimulation in Spinal Cord Injury: Clinical Evidence versus Daily Practice
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has clinical evidence in the rehabilitation of patients with spinal cord injury. Nevertheless, looking into daily clinical practice, the use of FES is poor. Expenditure of time, complexity of technical equipment and compliance and acceptance of therapists and patients should be discussed as limiting factors.
متن کاملFunctional Electrical Stimulation in Spinal Cord Injury: Clinical Evidence versus Daily Practice.
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has clinical evidence in the rehabilitation of patients with spinal cord injury as indicated by several studies. Both inpatients and outpatients benefit from the therapeutic effect of the FES. The application areas are multifaceted and can be customized on the need for patients. This is represented by the individuality of the programmability of the stimul...
