Exercise to Reduce Obesity in Spinal Cord Injury

VA Office of Research and Development·interventional·Posted Dec 28, 2005·Updated Nov 17, 2017

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Arm Crank Ergometry and FES Cycle Ergometer for Diabetes Mellitus and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 29 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this proposal was to evaluate and compare the health benefits of using upper extremity exercise versus functional electrical stimulation for lower extremity exercise. It was our hypothesis that both Functional Electrical Stimulation Leg Cycle Ergometry (FES LCE) exercise and voluntary Arm Crank Ergometry (ACE) upper extremity exercise would increase whole body energy expenditure, thereby increasing muscle mass, insulin sensitivity, glucose effectiveness and improving lipid profiles in adults with paraplegia.
