| Description | The objective of this article is to examine dynamic changes of ischial blood perfusion during sacral nerve root stimulation against surface functional electrical stimulation (FES). Fourteen adults with suprasacral spinal cord injury (SCI) were recruited. The gluteal maximus was activated by surface FES or stimulating sacral nerve roots by functional magnetic stimulation (FMS) or a sacral anterior root stimulator implant (SARS). Ischial skin index of hemoglobin (IHB) and oxygenation (IOX) was measured.Skin blood perfusion was significantly higher during FMS than the baseline (IHB 1.05 ± 0.21 before vs.1.08 ± 0.02 during stimulation, p = 0.03; IOX 0.18 ± 0.21 before vs. 0.46 ± 0.30, p = 0.01 during stimulation). Similarly, when using the SARS implant, we also observed blood perfusion significantly increased (IHB 1.01 ± 0.02 before vs.1.07 ± 0.02 during stimulation, p = 0.003; IOX 0.79 ± 0.81 before vs. 2.2 ± 1.21 during stimulation, p = 0.036). Among four participants who completed both the FMS and FES studies, the magnitude of increase in both parameters was significantly higher during FMS. This study demonstrates sacral nerve root stimulation confer better benefit on blood perfusion than applying traditional FES in SCI population. |
