The Effect of Electromyography Triggered Electrical Stimulation on Trunk Balance and Muscle Thickness of Multifidus and Erector Spinae Muscles in Patients With Complete Spinal Cord Injury - A Randomised Controlled Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Neuro Trac Myo Plus Pro and Trunk eccentric exercises for Spinal Cord Injury Thoracic. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of electromyography (EMG) triggered electrical stimulation (ES) applied to multifidus and erector spinae muscles on trunk balance in patients with complete thoracic spinal cord injury (SCI). The fundamental questions that investigators want to answer are as follows: * \[question 1\]: "Does multifidus and erector spinae EMG ES improve trunk balance in patients with complete SCI?" * \[question 2\]: "Does multifidus and erector spinae EMG ES improve muscle thickness in patients with complete SCI?"
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Electrical stimulation parameters; stimuli were monophasic, rectangular, stimulus duration 300 µs, frequency 25 Hertz, amplitude was increased up to a maximum of 100 milliampere until contraction was seen.
The control group performed back eccentric exercises for 4 weeks, 3 times a week, 3 times in each session
