PURPOSE
This pilot work was conducted to evaluate the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation resistance training (RT) of the paralyzed knee extensor muscle groups on skeletal muscle and… (More)
INTRODUCTION
The objectives of this descriptive study were (a) to determine the energy expenditure of activities commonly performed by individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI) and summarize this… (More)
Several body composition and metabolic-associated disorders such as glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, and lipid abnormalities occur prematurely after spinal cord injury (SCI) and at a higher… (More)
This study examined the relationship among regional and relative adipose tissue distribution, glucose, and lipid metabolism in men with spinal cord injury (SCI). After overnight fasting, 32… (More)
Altered body composition has been suggested as a major factor for the high prevalence of impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI).… (More)
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE
To determine the effects of spasticity on anthropometrics, body composition (fat mass [FM] and fat-free mass [FFM]), and metabolic profile (energy expenditure, plasma glucose,… (More)

America is in the midst of an obesity epidemic, and individuals who have spinal cord injury (SCI) are perhaps at greater risk than any other segment of the population. Recent changes in the way… (More)
Termination of motor rehabilitation is often recommended as patients with cerebrovascular accident (CVA) become more chronic and/or when they fail to respond positively to motor rehabilitation… (More)
During the last one-half century, electrical stimulation has become clinically significant for improving health and restoring useful function after spinal cord injury. Short-term stimulation can be… (More)
