FES Cycling and cardiovascular fitness following a spinal cord injury?
The effects of a spinal cord injury (SCI) vary depending on the neurological level of the damage and the extent of neural traffic interruption at the site of the lesion. Common primary effects may include paralysis and loss of sensation in the legs, arms, and trunk, as well as disruptions in bladder and bowel function and the regulation of blood pressure, heart rate, and lung function. In this article, we will look at this topic in detail and how FES Cycling can help persons following a spinal cord injury maintain fitness with a particular focus on cardiovascular function.
A Closer Look at Muscle Fatigue in FES Cycling and Spinal Cord Rehabilitation
What we have found in many years of working with spinal cord injured persons using FES Cycling, is that some clients are impatient to see their legs working hard from day one. They are disappointed when their muscles seem to fatigue so quickly when they start training for the first time. To understand why this is the case, we need to look at how muscles behave when contracting with the aid of electrical stimulation. We should also understand how a spinal cord injury produces changes in a person's muscular, skeletal and neural structures.
