Arm Crank and Wheelchair Ergometry Produce Similar Peak Oxygen Uptake but Different Work Economy Values in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury
Tørhaug, Tom; Brurok, Berit; Hoff, Jan; Helgerud, Jan; Leivseth, Gunnar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-20)<i>Objective. </i> To study whether values for peak oxygen uptake (VO<sub>2peak</sub>) and work economy (WE) at a standardized workload are different when tested by arm crank ergometry (ACE) and wheelchair ergometry (WCE). <i>Methods. </i> Twelve paraplegic men with spinal cord injury (SCI) in stable neurological condition participated in this cross-sectional repeated-measures study. We determined ... -
Effect of lower extremity functional electrical stimulation pulsed isometric contractions on arm cycling peak oxygen uptake in spinal cord injured individuals
Brurok, Berit; Tørhaug, Tom; Karlsen, Trine; Leivseth, Gunnar; Helgerud, Jan; Hoff, Jan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-01-11)<p><i>Objective - </i>To compare peak oxygen uptake (VO<sub>2peak</sub>) between: (<i>i</i>) functional electrical stimulation lower extremity pulsed isometric muscle contractions combined with arm cycling (FES iso hybrid), (<i>ii</i>) functional electrical stimulation cycling combined with arm cycling (FES hybrid cycling), and (<i>iii</i>) arm cycling exercise (ACE) in individuals with spinal cord ...
