Abstract:
Patients with spinal cord injury(SCI)required higher level of quality of life(QOL),in fact,the disorder of lower limbs motion is the major factor which restricted the independence of social involvement.Routine rehabilitation training,lower extremity orthosis,functional electrical stimulation(FES)and the combined application of those are still the widely used approaches.Meanwhile,the auto-nerve transferring and auto-tendon operation are also the fields that researchers focus on.In practice,we have to choose proper method individually according to the patients' conditions to restore the lower limbs function,so as to improve the QOL.
