Q

Who cannot use NMES

A

SCI injuries below t12-l1
-this is because the spine down there is the caudal equine which is no longer whole neurone and is just axons. If they are damaged they will die which removes the nerves that NMES uses to activated muscles.

SCI injuries above t6
- can trigger autonomic dysreflexia. This means that NMES can cause an episode of high BP from sympathetic hyperactivity.
-irregular sign is reduced heart rate
