Every SCI-FIT program is tailored to the individual. Your program will be as unique as you are and may include these components:

• Aerobic Capacity/Endurance – Any activity that requires additional effort by the heart and lungs to meet increased demand on skeletal muscles for oxygen.
• Body Mechanics – The mechanics of the various systems of the human body, especially the skeletal, muscular, circulatory, respiratory and nervous systems.
• Ergonomics – Helping the body be more productive by teaching and practicing the skills needed to operate more efficiently, comfortably, and safely.
• Gait/Locomotion – Facilitating a movement pattern in lower extremities that simulates an upright movement pattern (done with body weight supported system, or over-ground using assistive devices). Click here for an example.
• FES – Functional Electrical Stimulation is used to stimulate peripheral nerves (lower motor neurons) to evoke muscle contraction and can be used in upper extremity, trunk, and lower extremity training. 
• Balance – The result of a number of body systems working together in order to maintain a specific pose, or achieve a certain movement. Click here for an example.
• Motor Function – Dexterity, coordination, and agility – refers to the many parts of our bodies that work together to enable us to act and move.
• Muscle Performance –Refers to the maximum amount of strength, power, and endurance produced by a particular muscle or muscle group, and the amount of time for which the individual can perform a particular activity.
• Neuro Muscular Development – The development of the nervous and muscular systems.
• Posture – Involves training the body to stand, walk, sit, and lie in positions where the least strain is placed on supporting muscles and ligaments during movement or weight-bearing activities.
• Active/Passive Range of Motion – The use of stretching and/or controlled movement through a normal range of motion in multiple planes, utilizing multiple joints.
