To study the efficacy of electrical stimulation in treating spasticity of six spinal injured patients, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) was applied to the dermatomes belonging to the same spinal cord level as the selected spastic muscle group. Spasticity muscle group. Spasticity was assessed in knee extensors by a pendulum test in which the knee joint ankle of a swinging lower leg was recorded with an electrogoniometer. TENS was found to produce a noticeable decrease of spasticity in three of the patients but had little effect on the others. Langue : ANGLAIS Identifiant basis : 1985002768 |
