Abstract: Electrical stimulation is a tool that has been
used in various ways in the rehabilitation of spinal cord
injuries. Surface i.e. electromyography is an effective
method for assessing the many conditions in which the
patient is. Objective: To evaluate the benefits through
neuromuscular electrostimulation in patients with spinal
cord injury and possible neuroplasticity gain observed in
electromyography. Method: This is a pilot study on the
evolution of clinical cases of different neurological levels
of spinal cord injury. Conclusion: It was observed that
the spinal cord injured patients analyzed in this
preliminary study showed possible gain in neuroplasticity.
