FES-assisted Gait Training for Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord injuries (SCI) impair neural communication, leading to difficulties in walking due to muscle weakness, altered reflexes, and impaired muscle activation below the injury. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has been shown to enhance voluntary control, strength, and walking performance when used during gait training. This study aims to assess whether the FES yields superior improvements in walking ability compared to conventional gait training without stimulation.
