In the physiotherapy section, evidence for models of physiotherapy are presented (eg Bobath, motor relearning), and for specific physiotherapy interventions such as constraint-induced movement therapy, strength training, functional electrical stimulation, treadmill training, virtual reality, mental imagery, bilateral training, and aerobic exercise training.
Electrotherapeutic agents include but are not limited to biofeedback, neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), functional electrical stimulation (FES), transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), high-voltage galvanic stimulation for tissue and wound repair (ESTR), high-voltage pulsed current (HVPC), direct current (DC), iontophoresis, and other commercially available technologies (Bracciano, 2008).
In applications in people with SCI, functional electrical stimulation (FES) is one neuroprosthetic approach to improve locomotor function that stimulates the peroneal nerves to elicit a flexion withdrawal reflex and thereby cause limb movement [90].
