Abstract

Electrical stimulation is a tool that has been used in various ways in the rehabilitation of spinal cord injuries. Surface i.e. electromyography is an effective method for assessing the many conditions in which the patient is. Objective:To evaluate the benefits through neuromuscular electrostimulation in patients with spinal cord injury and possible neuroplasticity gain observed in electromyography. Method:This is a pilot study on the evolution of clinical cases of different neurological levels of spinal cord injury. Conclusion:It was observed that the spinal cord injured patients analyzed in this preliminary study showed possible gain in neuroplasticity.
