Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy and Attenuation of Cardio-Metabolic Risk Factors (SHARC) Using Functional Electrical Stimulation-Lower Extremity Cycling in Persons with Spinal Cord Injury. Study Protocol for a randomized clinical trial

Abstract: Background Persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) are at heightened risks of developing unfavorable cardiometabolic consequences due to physical inactivity. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) and surface neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES)-resistance training (RT) have emerged as effective rehabilitation methods that can exercise muscles below the level of injury and attenuate cardio-metabolic risk factors. Our aims are to: determine the impact of 12 weeks of NMES+12 weeks of FES-Lower extremity cy… Show more
