This paper is an overview of the status of transcutaneous noninvasive (unbraced) functional electrical stimulation (FES) for independent standing and for independent ambulation by traumatic spinal-cord injured (SCI) paraplegics with complete spinal cord lesions at the thoracic level. The paper discusses aspects of patient selection, patient training, system performance, ambulation range, medical benefits and psychological benefits. It also considers problems relating to system adoption and long term system use. Furthermore, the paper discusses the various aspects of transcutaneous noninvasive FES as compared with implanted FES systems for ambulation by thoracic level SCI patients.
本文概述了经皮无创(无支撑)功能性电刺激(FES)用于胸段脊髓完全损伤的创伤性脊髓损伤(SCI)截瘫患者独立站立和独立行走的现状。本文讨论了患者选择、患者训练、系统性能、行走范围、医学益处和心理益处等方面。还考虑了与系统采用和长期系统使用相关的问题。此外,本文还讨论了经皮无创FES与用于胸段SCI患者行走的植入式FES系统相比的各个方面。
