Summary

This pilot study tests a wearable sleeve that uses muscle signals and gentle electrical pulses to help people with chronic tetraplegia (from spinal cord injury) grasp objects. Twelve adults will use the sleeve during 12 weeks of hand therapy. The goal is to see if the device is safe and can improve daily tasks like holding a fork or a cup.
