Summary

This study tests whether a noninvasive technique called transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation can improve arm and hand function in 30 adults with either a spinal cord injury or stroke. Participants will receive electrical stimulation through electrodes placed on the skin over the neck while performing motor tasks. The goal is to understand how different stimulation settings affect nerve activity and movement, which could lead to better rehabilitation tools.
