摘要: Simple systems for electrical stimulation (1-4 channels) with either surface, percutaneous, or implanted electrodes during locomotion were assessed in 10 subjects who had chronic, incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). On average, the speed of was increased by 4 m/min independently subject's without (0-50 m/min) while oxygen consumption reduced somewhat. These simple can provide practical help, particularly SCI stand but are lacking have very limited ability to walk. Further improvement requires stabilization and reduction duration stance phase locomotion.
