Recovery of Upper Limb Function in Persons With Spinal Cord Injury: Lead-In Study

NCT02799966 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 9

Last updated 2019-09-26

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Many individuals with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) have difficulty using their hands and arms. MyndMove is a non-invasive medical device that uses short, low energy electrical pulses with surface electrodes to cause muscle contractions to produce a full range of reaching and grasping movements, which the patient is unable to perform by him/herself.

By using MyndMove therapy to help the individual move their arms and hands as he/she attempts to carry out typical reaching and grasping movements, the individual improves their ability to perform these tasks voluntarily.

The purpose of this study is to study the effectiveness of MyndMove therapy in improving the ability of individuals to move their arms and hands.
