Abstract

Forty-seven patients who had participated in a clinical electrical stimulation ergometry program were administered a questionnaire to determine their perceptions of the therapy. Improved endurance was reported by 62 of paraplegics and 65 of quadriplegics. Sixty-two percent of paraplegics and 56 of quadriplegics reported improved self-image, while 54 of paraplegics and 77 of quadriplegics perceived their appearance was better. Thirty-nine percent of paraplegics and 24 of quadriplegics noted decreased lower extremity edema with training. Six out of nine patients with a previous history of neurogenic pain noted an increase in pain, which caused them to leave the program. Verf.-Referat
