Assessment

Primary outcomes

The evaluation items consisted of the total passive motion (TPM) of fingers ; and data was collected over time, namely at one week, one month, and three months after injury. For the TPM of the fingers, the total passive motion was measured separately on the right side and on the left side on the basis of the flexion-extension range of motion in the MP, PIP and DIP joints of the first finger to the fifth finger (14 joints, 28 motions: 1420 Deg in total).

Key secondary outcomes

The upper limb ASIA motor score and the edema.

Interventions/Control_1

Between May 2011 and December 2014
Among the 134 patients who were admitted to our hospital within one week of injury, 43 patients had spinal injuries classified as grades B or C according to the Frankel classification. From among those selected, 4 patients with dementia and mental illness and 2 patients with respiratory failure were excluded; and the remaining 37 patients were randomly assigned to each group. Eight patients were transferred to other hospitals within 3 months after admission because of an aggravation of their general condition; and as a result, the total number of patients who could be subjected to measurements for 3 months or longer was 29 . The TES group was composed of 15 patients (15 males, mean age: 57.7+-16.9 years).
For the TES training, the training time was as follows: 5 minutes twice daily after an evaluation 1 week after injury; 10 minutes twice daily at 2 weeks after injury; 15 minutes twice daily at 3 weeks after injury; and 20 minutes twice daily at 4 weeks after injury and thereafter. Finger extension and flexion movements were induced within a range in which there was no stimulus-induced pain.

Interventions/Control_2

The control group was composed of 14 patients (13 males and one female, mean age: 59.4+-18.5 years).
The control group underwent conventional training alone.
