Evaluation of Functional Electrical Stimulation to Assist Cycling in Four Adolescents with Spastic Cerebral Palsy

Figure 3

Cycling performance during incremental cycling tests with and without FES assistance in a child who is well adept at cycling (participant 1). The graphs illustrate peak cadence (a), peak heart rate as a percentage of resting heart rate (b), average power output (c), and average heart rate (d) during the tests. For average power output (c) and average heart rate (d) standard deviation values are shown. The blue bars represent volitional cycling and the red bars represent FES-Assisted cycling trials.
