Study Summary
The purpose of this proposal was to evaluate and compare the health benefits of using upper extremity exercise versus functional electrical stimulation for lower extremity exercise. It was our hypothesis that both Functional Electrical Stimulation Leg Cycle Ergometry (FES LCE) exercise and voluntary Arm Crank Ergometry (ACE) upper extremity exercise would increase whole body energy expenditure, thereby increasing muscle mass, insulin sensitivity, glucose effectiveness and improving lipid profiles in adults with paraplegia.
Primary Outcome
Change in % Body Fat after 16 week intervention. Change score was calculated as final value (i.e., post intervention variable) minus baseline value.
Interventions
- PROCEDURE Arm Crank Ergometry
