Summary

The purpose of this research is to test the health benefits of using functional electrical stimulation for lower extremity exercise at home.

Detailed description

The specific objectives are to assess the impact of 16 weeks of home-based telemonitored functional electrical stimulation leg cycle ergometry (FESLCE) exercise on body composition and metabolic health in adults with C4-T4 motor complete SCI. This study is available only to those who were previously enrolled in the SCIENCE protocol #20190659 that were randomized to the diet alone group. After completing the dietary intervention, those individuals will have an opportunity to experience FES bicycle.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Spinal Cord Injury Exercise Group	Participants will have an initial accommodation period of 4 weeks, during which four 10-minute exercise bouts/day will be interspersed with 5 minutes of rest. The bouts will gradually increase until at least continuous 40-minute sessions. The remaining 12-week intervention will be set at 70% max heart rate for a total of 16 weeks.
