Summary
Over the past ten years, the Cardiovascular Research Laboratory at Spaulding has refined a unique form of exercise for those with spinal cord injuries (SCI). Functional Electrical Stimulation Row Training (FESRT) couples volitional arm and electrically controlled leg exercise, resulting in the benefits of large muscle mass exercise. Despite the success of the FES-rowing Program at Spaulding, FES-rowing systems have not yet evolved beyond research prototypes, and ours is the only program in the US where FES-rowing is available. A new design is critically needed to enable people with paralysis to participate in FES rowing in their own homes, which we believe will maximize both the health and commercial impacts of FES-rowing.
