Influence of gait-synchronized functional electrical stimulation during exoskeleton-assisted ambulation on cardiorespiratory outcomes in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury
Adding functional electrical stimulation to exoskeleton-assisted gait therapy consistently increased cardiorespiratory demand, potentially enhancing training intensity. Further research assessing long-term clinical impact is required.
