Summary

This study will examine a form of non-invasive brain stimulation applied with intensive therapy of the arm and hand. The goal of the study is to determine if arm and hand function can be improved in people with incomplete cervical spinal cord injury (neck spinal cord injury, tetraplegia). Participants will be assigned to receive either active or inactive non-invasive brain stimulation.

Conditions

  • Spinal Cord Injuries
  • Tetraplegia, Unspecified, Incomplete, Chronic

Interventions

DEVICE

transcranial direct current stimulation

This is a non-invasive form of stimulation which delivers safe, low levels of electrical current to the brain through the scalp.

BEHAVIORAL

Intensive upper extremity motor training

This training is administered one-on-one with an occupational therapist. Activities will be focused on skills the participant wants to regain.
