不完全性颈髓损伤数量的增加意味着需要更多地关注不完全性四肢瘫痪手的康复。一个案例研究，描述了电刺激的应用，以加强偏瘫的腰肌，提出。经过2周的强化训练，腰肌力增加了33%。停止治疗4周后，未出现力量丧失现象。这一结果的规模和速度应该会引起那些寻求在最短时间内最大限度地提高患者独立性的临床医生的兴趣。
The increasing number of incomplete cervical spinal cord injuries means that more attention needs to be focused on the rehabilitation of the incomplete quadriplegic hand. A case study, describing the application of electrical stimulation for strengthening the paretic lumbrical muscles, is presented. A 2 week strengthening program resulted in a 33% increase in the force produced by the lumbrical muscles. No loss of strength had occurred 4 weeks after cessation of the treatment. The magnitude and speed of this result should be of interest to those clinicians who seek to maximise patient independence in minimal time.
