摘要

本實驗之目的為研究不完全脊髓損傷病患在接受功能性電刺激踩車訓練後，其身體組成、雙腿腿圍與肌力之變化。本研究共蒐集十八個不完全脊髓損傷病患。每位病患接受每週三次共八週的功能性電刺激踩車訓練。分別紀錄訓練前、訓練四週後，以及訓練八週後的身體組成、雙下肢腿圍及大腿屈肌與伸肌力矩。功能性電刺激踩車訓練四週後，雙下肢大腿腿圍即有明顯增加。訓練八週後，兩側大腿屈肌與大腿伸肌肌力力矩亦顯著增加。此外，八週訓練後瘦肌肉組識也明顯增加。經由本實驗可知，功能性電刺激踩車訓練可增加不完全脊髓損傷病患雙下肢腿圍與肌力力矩。

The aim of this study was to investigate the change in body composition, leg girths, and muscle strength of patients with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) after functional electrical stimulation cycling exercises (FESCE). Eighteen subjects with incomplete SCI were recruited. Each patient received FESCE three times per week for 8 weeks. Body composition, thigh and calf girths of bilateral legs, muscle strength of bilateral knee flexors and extensors were measured before and after 4 and 8 weeks of FESCE. A significant increase in bilateral thigh girth after 4 weeks of FESCE and significant increase in muscular peak torque of knee flexion and extension were found after 8 weeks of training. Besides, lean body mass increased significantly after complete treatment. FESCE can increase the thigh girth and muscular peak torque of patients with incomplete spinal cord injury.
