Overview of FES-Assisted Cycling Approaches and Their Benefits on Functional Rehabilitation and Muscle Atrophy

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 1088))

Abstract

Central nervous system diseases include brain or spinal cord impairments and may result in movement disorders almost always manifested by paralyzed muscles with preserved innervations and therefore susceptible to be activated by electrical stimulation. Functional electrical stimulation (FES)-assisted cycling is an approach mainly used for rehabilitation purposes contributing, among other effects, to restore muscle trophism. FES-assisted cycling has also been adapted for mobile devices adding a leisure and recreational benefit to the physical training. In October 2016, our teams (Freewheels and EMA-trike) took part in FES-bike discipline at the Cybathlon competition, presenting technologies that allow pilots with spinal cord injury to use their paralyzed lower limb muscles to propel a tricycle. Among the many benefits observed and reported in our study cases for the pilots during preparation period, we achieved a muscle remodeling in response to FES-assisted cycling that is discussed in this chapter. Then, we have organized some sections to explore how FES-assisted cycling could contribute to functional rehabilitation by means of changes in the skeletal muscle disuse atrophy.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The fundamental nutrition involving the actual metabolic exchanges of the tissues.

  2. 2.

    Pleiotropy is the phenomenon by which one gene influences two or more seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits, i.e., the capacity of a gene having multiple phenotypic expressions.

  3. 3.

    Endurance training refers to aerobic exercise normally involving cyclic movements of a large number of muscles as observed in walking on a treadmill, swimming in a pool, or cycling a bike.

  4. 4.

    Resistance training refers to exercises by which muscular strength is improved as observed during pumping iron gym.

  5. 5.

    The lower motor neuron and the skeletal muscle fibers innervated by that motor neuron’s axonal terminals.

  6. 6.

    Oxidative stress reflects an imbalance between the systemic manifestation of reactive oxygen species and a biological system’s ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or to repair the resulting damage.
