Effect of functional electrical stimulation combined with stationary cycling and sit to stand training on mobility and balance performance in a patient with traumatic brain injury: A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction and importance

This case study investigates the effects of functional electrical stimulation, stationary cycling, and sit-to-stand training in a patient with severe chronic traumatic brain injury.

Case presentation

The participant was a 24-year-old man with a traumatic brain injury two years prior to the intervention described in this case report. The accident caused right hemiplegia, right foot drop, aphasia, and poor coordination of movement in both upper and lower limbs. He was using a wheeled walker for functional mobility and was receiving routine rehabilitation before the initiation of treatment. A four week intervention in this study included functional electrical stimulation of the quadriceps and tibialis anterior muscles combined with stationary cycling
