Summary
This study tested a non-invasive electrical stimulation method applied to the skin over the upper spine to see if it could improve arm and hand movement in people with traumatic brain injury. Researchers measured strength, control, and muscle stiffness with the stimulation on and off. The study was stopped early, but the results will help design future treatments using implanted stimulators.
