Summary

This small study tests a noninvasive method called transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (scTS) to help children aged 7-12 with chronic cervical spinal cord injury improve hand function. Researchers will try different stimulation locations and strengths on the neck and lower back, and compare stimulation combined with arm training versus training alone. The goal is to find the best approach to restore hand grip and control.
