The benefits of a functional electrical stimulation (FES) gait programme were assessed in a group of 6 incomplete spinal cord injured subjects. Measurements were made of quadriceps spasticity, lower limb muscle strength, postural stability in standing, spatial and temporal values of gait, physiological cost of gait and independence in activities of daily living. The subjects were assessed before commencement of the programme and after a period of gait training using FES. The benefits derived as a result of the FES gait programme included a reduction in quadriceps tone, an increase in voluntary muscle strength, a decrease in the physiological cost of gait and an increase in stride length.
对一组6名不完全性脊髓损伤患者评估了功能性电刺激（FES）步态训练计划的益处。测量了股四头肌痉挛程度、下肢肌肉力量、站立姿势稳定性、步态的空间和时间参数、步态生理成本以及日常生活活动的独立性。在该训练计划开始前以及使用FES进行一段时间的步态训练后对患者进行了评估。FES步态训练计划带来的益处包括股四头肌张力降低、自主肌肉力量增加、步态生理成本降低以及步幅增加。
