Core Tip	Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) are effective rehabilitation strategies in restoring muscle size and lean mass in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the effects on ectopic bony growth similar to heterotopic ossification (HO) have yet to be determined. The current two case reports demonstrated that TRT with or without NMES applications for 16 wk are con-sidered safe rehabilitation strategies in persons with SCI who have HO formation. Both the TRT and NMES + TRT protocols evoked muscle hypertrophy without stimulating the growth of pre-existing HO.
