Exercise and gait training in persons with paraplegia and its effect on muscle properties.
J Back Musculoskelet Rehabil
August 2016
Article Synopsis
- Exercise training for paraplegic patients significantly enhances the physiological properties of the Triceps Brachii muscle, contributing to improved muscle resilience and adaptation.
- The study involved 12 subjects with complete paraplegia, who underwent training for over two months, with notable increases in arm circumference and improvements in muscle fatigue resistance.
- A positive correlation was found between the time to fatigue in muscles and walking distance achieved with orthoses, highlighting the impact of upper body strength on mobility for these individuals.
