Spinal Cord Injury often results in paralysis and clearly has a profound effect on individuals and their families. Often affecting young, active people, you know adjustment to paralysis can be difficult. Paralysis obviously restricts exercise - and we all know that exercise is vital for everyone. People who have had a spinal cord injury need more exercise - but there are real physical barriers to getting enough. The result is increased risk of cardiovascular problems, loss of bone density, risk of pressure sores and many constraints on quality of life.
What if we could allow even paralysed muscles to work using technology? This would allow regular, healthy exercise and even the challenge of sport to be available to many more people who wish to live long, healthier lives following a Spinal Cord Injury.
The Technology Exists - itʼs improving rapidly - we call it FES Cycling

Advances in Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) allow spinal cord injured individuals to routinely exercise using their own muscles, when previously their injury would have served as a permanent barrier to this. Sophisticated control and computer technology orchestrates precise signals to activate the "right" muscles at the "right" time for a particular activity; taking over the natural role of the spinal cord and nervous system. Research has confirmed the undoubted health benefits of exercise for
persons who have had a Spinal Cord Injury and many spinal injury consultants now recommend that appropriate patients adopt this technology for a life..
