Summary

This study tests a brain-computer interface (BCI) implant in 10 people with tetraplegia (paralysis of all four limbs) from brainstem or spinal cord injury. The implant reads brain signals to control a pneumatic hand glove for grasping objects. The trial includes surgery, rehabilitation, and a follow-up phase where the brain implant is removed and replaced with a spinal cord stimulator. The goal is to improve hand function and independence.
