- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The power generated by the subject against a constant load attached to the rotating part of the cycle. The load will be provided as a resistance offered by the dynamometer, attached to the tire, with a variable load across it.Timepoint: Measured on first day, after a week and after 4 weeks.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To assess the effectiveness of electrical neuromuscular stimulation assisted cycling in paraplegics.Timepoint: End of trial
