2019, Clinical BiomechanicsCitation Excerpt :Therefore, in the beginning of the program, balance was mainly controlled by the CHORDATA® equipment, gradually progressing to an increased trunk balance control by the patients' muscles. This increased need for patients' postural control (increased activation) increased the muscle force through increased isometric, concentric, and eccentric actions (Drolet et al., 1999). Eccentric actions are better than isometric and concentric contractions for improving muscle force and producing hypertrophy (Evetovich et al., 2001).
Effects of robotic-locomotor training on stretch reflex function and muscular properties in individuals with spinal cord injury
2015, Clinical NeurophysiologyCitation Excerpt :Two primary clinical sequelae following with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) are spasticity and impaired voluntary movement (Barbeau et al., 2002; Drolet et al., 1999; Katz and Rymer, 1989; Lehmann et al., 1989; Thomas et al., 1997).
Technology improves upper extremity rehabilitation
2011, Progress in Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :Recovery of upper extremity function is their top priority, over all other disabilities (Anderson, 2004). A rigorous program of exercise therapy can improve upper extremity function after stroke and SCI (Drolet et al., 1999), and small improvements can make a large difference (Beekhuizen and Field-Fote, 2005). However, ensuring compliance to a regular exercise therapy program after people leave rehabilitation facilities is challenging.
