Comparison of Agonist vs. Antagonist Stimulation on Triceps Surae Spasticity in Spinal Cord
Objectives: One of the most common and disabling complications that affects individuals with spinal cord injury is spasticity. The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of agonist and antagonist electrical stimulations on triceps surae muscle spasticity in patients with spinal cord injury. Methods: A total of 30 subjects with spinal cord injury were considered for the study. They were...
متن کاملNormalization of Blood Pressure With Spinal Cord Epidural Stimulation After Severe Spinal Cord Injury
Chronic low blood pressure and orthostatic hypotension remain challenging clinical issues after severe spinal cord injury (SCI), affecting health, rehabilitation, and quality of life. We previously reported that targeted lumbosacral spinal cord epidural stimulation (scES) could promote stand and step functions and restore voluntary movement in patients with chronic motor complete SCI. This stud...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on spasticity in patients with spinal cord injury. METHODS The study included eleven subjects with spinal cord injuries (C4 to T5). The modified Ashworth scale and pendulum test, which is accomplished through the Pendular Test Device - PTD (equipment which has a quartz crystal transducer accelerometer and optic fiber fle...
متن کاملReview of Epidural Spinal Cord Stimulation for Augmenting Cough after Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord injury (SCI) remains a debilitating condition for which there is no cure. In addition to loss of somatic sensorimotor functions, SCI is also commonly associated with impairment of autonomic function. Importantly, cough dysfunction due to paralysis of expiratory muscles in combination with respiratory insufficiency can render affected individuals vulnerable to respiratory morbidity. ...
متن کاملAcute cardiovascular effects of epidural spinal cord stimulation.
BACKGROUND Several animal studies support the contention that thoracic spinal cord stimulation (SCS) might decrease arterial blood pressure. OBJECTIVE To determine if electrical stimulation of the dorsal spinal cord in humans will lower mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR). DESIGN Case Series METHODS Ten normotensive subjects that were clinically indicated for SCS testing were...
