Abstract:
In recent years,the incidence of spinal cord injury(SCI)has shown an increasing trend,and the resulting motor impairment cause significant harm to patients themselves and public health.Although the current clinical treatments for motor disorders after SCI are diverse,mainly focusing on improving dysfunction and improving patients' daily living ability through external stimulation,there is still a lack of radical solutions.Epidural electrical stimulation(EES)as an emerging treatment technology,has been shown in a number of international clinical studies on the SCI significant poten-tial of motor function recovery,has significant curative effect,convenient,widely applicable,adjustable advantages,the rehabilitation of movement disorders after SCI has a lot of big benefits,in the spinal cord injury rehabilitation has great prospect.However,most of the domestic research are limited to the neurogenic bladder caused by abnormal autonomic nerve function after SCI,and mostly combine traditional Chinese and western medicine rehabilitation treatment,the emerging therapy of EES,this paper aims to review the basic principle of EES,potential mechanism of action and its c lini-cal application progress in the treatment of movement disorders after SCI,in order to provide reference for the clinical ap-plication and scientific research of EES treatment of motor disorders after SCI.
