The results of spinal cord epidural electrostimulation at 45 patients with the consequences of spinal cord injury in thoracal and lumbar segments are presented. Only the patients with chronical spinal cord injury were included in the research. We made an estimation of movement’s restoration according ASIA scale. 16 patients had the thoracal segments injury, 28 — lumbar segments, 1 — the consequences of cauda equine’s injury. The results of spinal cord epidural electrostimulation depended from injury’s severity and the zone of the electrodes application, 92,8% of patients from Frankel’s group B and all patients from group C performed the movements’ restoration in their legs. 15,7% of patients from Frankel’s group A had the restoration of movements’ in their legs on (9,7±1,2) points according to ASIA. Epidural electrostimulation of spinal cord lumbar segments gave better results at patients with the consequences of thoracal segments injury.
The spinal cord epidural electrostimulation is effective method for movement’s restoration after particular spinal cord injury.References
