Summary

This study looks at whether intensive upper-limb training, started within 13 weeks of a cervical spinal cord injury, can trigger changes in the brain and nerves that improve arm and hand function. Researchers will measure brain activity, nerve signals, and motor skills in 44 participants before and after 8 weeks of extra training, with a 6-month follow-up. The goal is to understand how the nervous system adapts, not to test a cure or treatment.
