Severe muscle atrophy due to spinal cord injury can be reversed in complete absence of peripheral nerves
In the last years, a new efficient treatment has been developed to treat paralyzed skeletal muscle of patients affected by spinal cord injury (SCI). The capability of the functional electrical stimulation (FES) to improve trophism and in some cases muscle function, are now well documented both in an...
