Summary

This study looks at whether nerve transfer surgery can help people with high-level spinal cord injury (C1-C4) regain arm function and improve their quality of life. About 30 adults who have had a spinal cord injury for at least 6 months but less than 5 years will undergo standard nerve transfer surgery and be followed for up to 4 years. Researchers will measure changes in muscle strength, independence, and daily living skills.
