摘要
Electrical stimulation of the L-3,4 dermatome during treadmill walking is proposed as a gait training modality in incomplete spinal cord injured patients. The dermatome stimulation proved to be efficient in diminishing the extensor tone occuring after loading of the paralyzed limb during the stance phase of walking and resulting in improved flexion of the leg during the swing phase.
