Summary

This study tests whether a spinal cord stimulator, combined with physical therapy, can help people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have weakness in one arm and hand. Participants first do 6 weeks of physical therapy alone, then get a spinal cord stimulator implanted and repeat the therapy with the device turned on. The goal is to see if the stimulation improves motor control and is safe. About 20 adults aged 22 to 70 with moderate arm weakness will take part.
