    Benko, Helena ; Burger, Helena ; Obreza, Pavla
    In order to evaluate the use of FES stimulators provided to patients as orthoses for home use and their influence on the patients abilities and quality of life, a guestionnaire was developed and sent ... to 71 patients after spinal cord injury who had been rehabilitated at our rehabilitation institute.A total of SO completed questionnaires were returned. FES enabled them to perform funcions that they would not be able to perform otherwise, andalso had many other positive effects. The most frequeently reported problems were short duration of batteries, breaking of electrodes and cables, time consuming application and muscle fatigue.
