- Additional information
- This is an output from the first clinical study to demonstrate that abdominal stimulation can assist ventilator weaning in spinal cord injury (SCI). Based upon these results, an in-depth multi-centre clinical study was carried out involving partners in Australia (NeuRA, Dr B. Lee, Dr. McCaughey, Thailand, Vietnam and India (Indian Spinal-Injuries Centre, Dr H. S. Chhabra) and the Scottish Queen Elizabeth National Spinal Injuries Unit, with grant support from Wings for Life (Austria, Project "Abdominal FES in SCI") and INSPIRE Foundation (UK, Project "AFES"). The technique is now used routinely in these SCI clinics.
