기능적 전기 자극 치료가 척수 손상 사지마비 환자의 건고정술 (tenodesis grip)에 미치는 영향

Eeffects of Functional Electrical Stimulation(FES) on Cervical Spinal Cord Injury Patient`s Tenodesis Grip

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of functional electrical stimulation(FES) on cervical spinal cord injury patient`s tenodesis grip, Method: Two cervical spinal cord injury patients were applied for 40 minutes one time per days, three days per week for 5 weeks and to measure hand function, Jebsen hand function test, Box & Block test were conducted, Results: Hand function was improved after the experiment than before the experiment, according to Jebsen hand function test, Box & Block test results. Conclusion: This study suggests that functional electrical stimulation in achieving tenodesis grip in spinal cord injury.
