Ambulatory Exercise Procedures and Effects

  • Chapter
Functional Electrical Rehabilitation

Abstract

Various problems have limited the use of functional electrical stimulation (FES) technology for ambulation of the spinal-cord-injured individual (Stallard et al., 1989). For example, the high energy cost associated with movement induced by FES results in rapid muscular fatigue (Marsolais and Edwards, 1988).
