Summary

The goals of this study are to examine the physiology of Central Nervous System pathways contributing to the control of upper and lower extremity movements after SCI, and to promote the recovery of extremity movements by using non-invasive brain stimulation and motor training.

Conditions

  • Spinal Cord Injury

Interventions

DEVICE

rTMS

small magnetic pulses will be given to the brain in a non invasive manner.

DEVICE

Sham rTMS

sham or fake stimulation (TMS or rTMS) will be given to the brain in a non invasive manner

OTHER

Training

at the direction of the researcher the participant will be instructed to do repetitive motor movements with their arm, hand or leg. this is called training

OTHER

Motor Task

participants will be asked to perform specific motor tasks or movements with their fingers, hands, arms or legs.
