Summary

Researchers will use the MyndMove device to stimulate muscles during short therapy sessions. The goal is to see if this approach helps with tasks like grasping and reaching.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Functional electrical stimulation (FES) via the MyndMove device
What this could lead to: If successful, this could point toward a non-invasive way to help people with spinal cord or nerve injuries regain arm and hand function.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy is short-term and may not lead to lasting improvements.
