Summary

Individuals who suffer a spinal cord injury in the neck region have difficulty using their hands due to paralysis and/or weakness of their arms and hand muscles. This project aims to test the effects of pairing spinal cord and nerve stimulation combined with physical therapy training in recovering arms and hand function. The long-term goal is to provide better therapies that will improve the ability of individuals with spinal cord injuries to use their arms and hands to perform everyday tasks, similar to injury before.

Conditions

  • Spinal Cord Injury
  • Spinal Cord Disease
  • Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI)

Interventions

DEVICE

Spinal cord transcutaneous stimulation

Physical therapy combined with spinal cord transcutaneous stimulation will increase activity in the paralyzed or weak arm and hand muscles in individuals with spinal cord injury. Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation is a non-invasive stimulation strategy and are known to facilitate recovery of lost function post spinal cord injury.

DEVICE

Paired spinal cord and peripheral nerve stimulation

Physical therapy combined with paired spinal cord-peripheral nerve stimulation will increase activity in the paralyzed or weak arm and hand muscles in individuals with spinal cord injury. Transcutaneous spinal cord and peripheral nerve stimulation are both non-invasive stimulation strategy and are known to facilitate recovery of lost function post spinal cord injury.
