what is the role of technology for people with disabilites
functionality
Camber
is the degree to which the tops of the wheels slant inward
Casters
front small wheels (allow for quick sharp turns)
FES
is a process by which an electric current is applied to the muscles, which have lost nervous control, using surface electrodes
A current supplies stimulation to illicit a muscle contraction with the aim of providing functional useful movement
Who can use FES
Clients may have SCI, MS, Stroke and CP
Clients must have an intact reflex loop
Reflex Loop: introduce stim, sensory neurons carry signal to spinal cord, synapse, motor neurons carry signal to muscle, elicit contraction
Clients must be assessed by a physiatrist prior to treatment
Factors that determine sufficient current flow to cause an action potential
Impedance of body tissues: conductivity of body tissues is based on its water and ion content. Muscle is a good conductor, adipose tissue is a better insulator
Electrode size and placement
Stimulation parameters
Benefits of FES
Increase muscle area and fiber size
Reduce spasticity
Reduce contractures
Increased blood flow due to contracting muscle, improved capillarisation
Improved lower extremity edema, reduced occurrence of pressure sores
Improved bladder, bowel function
Improved sleeping pattern
Improved cardiovascular fitness, increased cardio output and oxygen uptake
Lower blood pressure
Improved gas exchange kinetics
Improved body composition
Improved general health, physiologically and psychologically
Benefits for individuals with SCI
Reduce Secondary complications of SCI:
Infections
Muscle atrophy
Poor circulation
Risk of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD)
Contraindications and Precautions regarding FES
FES safety is not known in pregnancy

Cancer: FES increases blood flow and could increase the rate of spread of cancer

Cardiac Demand Pacemakers

Electrodes should not be placed over broken skin, rashes, blisters or burns

FES may trigger symptoms of Autonomic Dysreflexia
Autonomic Dysreflexia (AD)
AD is elicited by a noxious stimuli below the level of injury.

Characterized by increase in blood pressure above the level of injury and a decrease below the level of injury

Signs and Symptoms: bradycardia (HR < 60 bpm), hypertension (BP > 200/100mmHg), goose bumps and cold clammy skin, profuse sweating, headache, nasal congestion and nausea
