J REHABIL RES DEV , 2001, vol. 38, n° 6, p. 655-660 Doc n°: 104007 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : KA64 - NEMS, AE21 - ORIGINE TRAUMATIQUE The purpose of this forum was to discuss with consumers having spinal cord injury what their research priorities would be for the field of functional electrical stimulation (FES) and to explore the impact of technology in the lives of people with disabilities. Both FES users and nonusers were included on the panel. The format for the discussion was primarily question and answer, with each participant giving his or her personal response to the moderator's question. Consumer research priorities depended on the individual and his or her personal priorities, preferences, background, history, and level of injury. Common themes that emerged were independence, ease of movement, ease of control, and spontaneity. From the consumers' perspective, the focus of research to restore function ought to be based on the needs and desires of the consumer, not just on the scientifically intriguing aspects of a particular technology.
