Functional electrical stimulation therapy (FET) has a potential to improve voluntary grasping among individuals with tetraplegia secondary to traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). Objective. This single-site, randomized controlled trial examined the efficacy of 40 hours of FET with conventional occupational therapy (COT) compared with COT alone to improve grasping. Methods. Twenty-four subjects with subacute traumatic incomplete SCI (C4-C7, AIS B-D) consented to participate in 40 hours of therapy over 8 weeks, beyond the conventional rehabilitation program. Subjects were randomized to receive FET + COT (n = 9) or COT (n = 12). The key outcomes were changes in Functional Independence Measure (FIM) self-care subscores, Spinal Cord Independence Measure (SCIM) self-care subscores, and Toronto Rehabilitation Institute Hand Function Test (TRI-HFT) performed at baseline and follow-up. Results. At the end of the treatments, the change in mean FIM self-care subscore for the FET + COT group was 20.1 versus 10 ( P = .015) for the COT group. Subjects randomized to FET + COT also had greater improvements in the SCIM and TRI-HFT. No longer term follow-up was feasible. Conclusion. FET significantly reduced disability and improved voluntary grasping beyond the effects of considerable conventional upper extremity therapy in individuals with tetraplegia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1545968310392924","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,2,8]],"date-time":"2011-02-08T22:42:08Z","timestamp":1297204928000},"page":"433-442","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":169,"title":["Functional Electrical Stimulation Therapy of Voluntary Grasping Versus Only Conventional Rehabilitation for Patients With Subacute Incomplete Tetraplegia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Milos R.","family":"Popovic","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"},{"name":"Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naaz","family":"Kapadia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vera","family":"Zivanovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julio C.","family":"Furlan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, Toronto, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B.
