Zusammenfassung

Introduction: A requirement of functional electrical stimulation (FES), which is used extensively in rehabilitation of paraplegics, is that the stimulation should elicit a sufficiently powerful muscle contraction with minimum discomfort and fatigue. Although low frequency rectangular pulsed current (LFRP) is usually used, information has been increasing, that middle frequency alternating current (MFAC) reduces the fatigue rate more than LFRP. Additionally could be expected that MFAC causes less pain, thus allowing stimulation of sensory incomplete paraplegics. Because such MFAC stimulation-induced lower fatigue…
