The proposed study intends to examine how DFES can be used in early<br \/>\nrehabilitation to prevent OH from occurring and by doing so enable the SCI patients to participate in intensive\u00a0rehabilitation program immediately following the injury.<\/p>\n<p>Two groups of patients each will undergo 4 weeks of orthostatic tolerance training with tilt-table, either\u00a0with DFES (new intervention with Erigo and Compex devices) or without DFES (control group receiving\u00a0current best practice). Patients will be evaluated just before, just after, and 1 month after interventions to assess<br \/>\nevolution of OH symptoms and physical abilities in each group. They will also be monitored for cardiovascular\u00a0tolerance during the intervention.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"pgc_meta":"","footnotes":""},"pgc_meta":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/reltoronto.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/850"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/reltoronto.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/reltoronto.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reltoronto.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reltoronto.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=850"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/reltoronto.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/850\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":852,"href":"https:\/\/reltoronto.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/850\/revisions\/852"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/reltoronto.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=850"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
