摘要：

Tle benefits of a functional electrical stimulation (FES) gait programme were assessed in a group of 6 incomplete spinal cord injured subjects. Measurements were made of quadriceps spasticity, lower limb muscle strength, postural stability in standing, spatial and temporal values of gait, physiological cost of gait and independence in activities of daily living. The subjects were assessed before commencement of the programme and after a period of gait training using FES. The benefits derived as a result of the FES gait programme included a reduction in quadriceps tone, an increase in voluntary muscle strength, a decrease in the physiological cost of gait and an increase in stride length.
