Abstract(s)
As Lesões na Espinal Medula acarretam severas complicações sociais e económicas afetando, na sua maioria, adultos e jovens adultos em plena vida ativa, comprometendo a sua vida futura.
O processo de Reabilitação neste tipo de lesões tem, então, um papel fundamental na melhoria da sua qualidade de vida. A Electro Estimulação Funcional em pessoas com Lesões na Espinal Medula, surge como um dos meios disponíveis com resultados comprovados no processo de Reabilitação, em particular o exercício em Ciclo Ergómetro com Electro Estimulação.
O objectivo deste trabalho passa, então, por descrever o design e construção, de raiz, de um novo ciclo ergómetro com Electro Estimulação, mais barato e mais fácil de montar.
Este ciclo ergómetro faz parte de um projeto maior que visa estudar a importância da sincronia do estímulo muscular voluntário com o estímulo muscular externo proveniente da Electro Estimulação na melhoria dos resultados do processo de Reabilitação.
The Spinal Cord injury is an injury with deep social and economic complications affecting mainly adults and young adults during their active age, compromising their future lives. The Rehabilitation process in this type of injuries has a crucial role in the improvements of people’s quality of life. The Functional Electrical Stimulation in Spinal Cord Injury people arises as one tool with proven results in the rehabilitation process, particularly the Cycle Ergometer with Electrical Stimulation. The objective of this thesis is to describe the design and construction from scratch of a new, cheaper and easier to assemble Cycle Ergometer with Electrical Stimulation. This new Cycle Ergometer is part of a bigger project that aims to study the importance of the synchrony between the voluntary muscle contraction and the external muscle contraction from the Electrical Stimulation in the improvement of the Rehabilitation outcomes.
