| Abstract [eng] |
The goal is to investigate and evaluate the effects of FES and TENS, individuals who have suffered spinal cord injury, spasticity of paresis or plethora leg muscles, and muscle characteristics. The study was conducted in the homes of the persons. Before and after stimulation, spasticity and muscle properties were measured using the myotonometer “Myoton”. Using Compex Cefar and Compex Mini stimulants, 30 min. FES was applied to the left leg and 30 min. of the TENS program to the right leg. The study involved 10 individuals who suffered spinal cord injury. Tens showed a statistically significant increase in the elasticity of the quadriceps thigh muscle (p 0.05). No statistically significant difference was also found between the FES and TENS groups (p > 0.05). Although FES and TENS did not have a statistically significant impact on elasticity and muscle tone, tens had a statistically significant deterioration in the muscle property of elasticity, which means that spasticity increased. |
