Summary

This study tests whether a device that sends mild electrical pulses to the spinal cord (called epidural spinal stimulation) can improve arm, hand, and finger movement in people with cervical spinal cord injury. Twelve adults aged 22–65 will combine the stimulation with upper body training. The goal is to see if this approach can strengthen muscles and improve coordination.
