Several studies have debated the rehabilitation merits of functional electrical stimulation (FES) for the treatment of spinal radiculopathies. Many of the related studies have been performed on elite athletes. We utilized the Russian stimulation in three cases to improve outcomes in foot drop secondary to lumbar radiculopathy. These stimulations had positive results, giving patients an increase in strength in the lower limbs after each session. These outcomes suggest that Russian stimulation has potential as an affordable option in the rehabilitation of foot drop from lumbar radiculopathy when used with exercise-based physical therapy.
多项研究对功能性电刺激(FES)治疗脊柱神经根病的康复价值进行了辩论。许多相关研究是在精英运动员身上进行的。我们对3例患者采用了俄罗斯电刺激疗法,以改善继发于腰椎神经根病的足下垂症状。这些电刺激取得了积极效果,每次治疗后患者下肢力量均有所增强。这些结果表明,俄罗斯电刺激疗法与基于运动的物理治疗相结合时,在腰椎神经根病所致足下垂的康复治疗中具有作为一种经济实惠选择的潜力。
