Respiratory Function in Participants with Spinal Cord Injury of a Rehabilitation Center using Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation.

A study published in the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation examined how neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) affects respiratory function in individuals with spinal cord injury undergoing inpatient rehabilitation. Researchers investigated whether NMES could improve respiratory outcomes in this population, which commonly experiences compromised breathing due to paralysis of respiratory muscles. The findings contribute to the evidence base for using electrical stimulation as a rehabilitative intervention for SCI-related respiratory impairment.
