Study design: A randomized controlled trial. Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of electrical stimulation (ES)-evoked muscle contractions superimposed on progressive resistance training (PRT) for increasing voluntary strength in the quadriceps muscles of people with spinal cord injuries (SCI). Setting: Sydney, Australia. Methods: A total of 20 people with established SCI and neurologically induced weakness of the quadriceps muscles participated in the trial. Participants were randomized between experimental and control groups. Volunteers in the experimental group received ES superimposed on PRT to the quadriceps muscles of one leg thrice weekly for 8 weeks. Participants in the control group received no intervention. Assessments occurred at the beginning and at the end of the 8-week period. The four primary outcomes were voluntary strength (Nm) and endurance (fatigue ratio) as well as the performance and satisfaction items of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM; points). Results: The between-group mean differences (95% confidence interval (CI)) for voluntary strength and endurance were 14 Nm (1-27; P ¼ 0.034) and 0.1 (À0.1 to 0.3; P ¼ 0.221), respectively. The between-group median differences (95% CI) for the performance and satisfaction items of the COPM were 1.7 points (À0.2 to 3.2; P ¼ 0.103) and 1.4 points (À0.1 to 4.6; P ¼ 0.058), respectively. Conclusion: ES superimposed on PRT improves voluntary strength, although there is uncertainty about whether the size of the treatment effect is clinically important. The relative effectiveness of ES and PRT is yet to be determined.

“…However, the ISNCSCI classifies by normal spinal cord level and in doing so, may be relatively insensitive to measure upper limb impairment in a manner that can quantify subtle changes. Hence, without sensitive measures to sufficiently document outcome in tetraplegia the efficacy of novel interventions will remain questionable (Ellaway et al, 2010;Fujiwara et al, 1999;Kohlmeyer et al, 1996;Prochazka et al, 1997). Currently, there is no well accepted outcome instrument that captures the sensory, motor, and functional upper extremity changes in a manner that will be sensitive to small neurological changes over the natural course of recovery, or as a result of therapeutic intervention.…”

“…The other two trials did not report statistically significant between-group differences. 29,30 (4) Stretch-based interventions: Four trials examined the effectiveness of different stretch-based interventions on range of motion and shoulder pain. 10,[31][32][33] Two trials demonstrated that stretch-based interventions for range of motion were ineffective (versus no intervention or conventional care) 32,33 and two trials were inconclusive.…”

The effectiveness of physical interventions for people with spinal cord injuries: a systematic review

et al. 2008

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Study design: Systematic review. Objectives: To provide a quantitative analysis of all randomized controlled trials designed to determine the effectiveness of physical interventions for people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Setting: Sydney, Australia. Methods: A search was conducted for randomized controlled trials involving physical interventions for people with SCI. Two reviewers independently rated methodological quality using the PEDro scale and extracted key findings from the trials. Results: Four thousand five hundred and forty three abstracts were identified of which 31 trials met the inclusion criteria. Trials examined the effectiveness of fitness and strength training (n ¼ 7), gait training (n ¼ 5), hand therapy (n ¼ 3), stretch (n ¼ 4), acupuncture (n ¼ 3), hand splinting (n ¼ 2) and other related therapies (n ¼ 7). Six trials reported a between-group mean difference with a clearly important treatment effect on at least one outcome measure. These trials supported the use of fitness, strength and gait training as well as acupuncture. Conclusion: There is initial evidence supporting the effectiveness of some physical interventions for people with SCI. However, there is a pressing need for high-quality trials to determine the effectiveness of all physical interventions commonly administered in clinical practice.
