There are an estimated 40,000 spinal cord injured people in the UK and a new person is injured every eight hours. Many primary causes of death are now no longer direct results of spinal cord injury but are conditions linked to age and inactivity. This means that there are long-term demands on medical support; in particular, treatment of osteoporotic bone fractures often results in lengthy spells in hospital for individuals with spinal cord injury. It is therefore important to minimize the effect of osteoporosis after spinal cord injury; this highlights the need for exercise programmes to target bone health. The proposed research aims to develop our understanding of how different types of weight bearing exercise can improve and maintain bone health in the lower extremities of spinal cord injury patients. The type of exercises proposed require a standing frame to maintain balance and a functional electrical stimulation system to stimulate muscles in the lower limbs to transfer weight from the heel to the ball of the foot and from one leg to the other. The hypothesis is that this will induce sufficient joint contact forces to be beneficial for bone health in the ankle, knee and hip joints. Using biomechanical modelling software an optimal combination of these exercises will be sought in order to design a rehabilitation programme to target bone health. To be beneficial to bone health, these exercises need to be repeated daily. Rehabilitation aids using video game technology will be developed to keep patients motivated. | |||
