| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I have developed a training of abdominal functional electrical stimulation (AFES) in order to improve the recovery of expiratory muscles for patients with spinal cord injury. At first, I had normal subjects take the AFES training up to 3 months, measured the basic parameters, and verified the effects. The second, I developed the clinical protocol which was later applied to the patients with spinal cord injury. As a result, it was suggested that AFES be possibly applied to the clinical practice as a safe and convenient training. However, not perceived was remarkable improvement upon pulmonary and cough functions. Accordingly, this protocol is in need of reconsideration.
