Effect of hybrid FES exercise on body composition during the sub-acute phase of spinal cord injury.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To determine the Effect of Hybrid functional electrically stimulated (FES) Exercise on Body Composition during the Sub-acute Phase of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI).

Design

Randomized Clinical Trial.

Setting

Rehabilitation Hospital.

Participants

Patients within sub-acute phase (3-24 months) of SCI.

Interventions

We investigated if high-intensity exercise training via the addition of functional electrically stimulated (FES) leg muscles, provides sufficient stimulus to mitigate against body composition changes in the sub-acute phase after SCI.

Main outcome measures

We explored potential effects of FES row training (FESRT) on body fat gain, lean mass loss, and cardiometabolic parameters and compared the effects of 6-month of FESRT (n = 18) to st
