Upper-limb exercise in tetraplegia using functional electrical stimulation [PDF]
, 2003 Cervical spinal cord injury can result in dysfunction in both the lower and upper limbs (tetraplegia), andmay be accompanied by a range of secondary complications. The degree of upper-limb dysfunctiondepends upon the level and completeness of the lesion;

Functional electrical stimulation on paraplegic patients
European Journal of Translational Myology, 2014 We report on clinical and physiological effects of 8 months Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) of quadriceps femoris muscle on 16 paraplegic patients. Each patient had muscle biopsies, CT-muscle diameter measurements, knee extension strength testing

Functional Electrical Stimulation and the Modulation of the Axon Regeneration Program
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Neural injury in mammals often leads to persistent functional deficits as spontaneous repair in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is often incomplete, while endogenous repair mechanisms in the central nervous system (CNS) are negligible.
