Summary

This study tests whether gentle electrical pulses applied to the skin over the spinal cord can improve arm and hand function in people who recently had a spinal cord injury. Twenty adults with tetraplegia will either receive standard upper limb therapy alone or therapy combined with this stimulation. The goal is to see if the approach is practical and safe, and whether it might speed up recovery.
