Grasping Rehabilitation Using Motor Imagery With or With no Neurofeedback After Tetraplegia
About this trial
This trial is recruiting individuals with C6 and C7 spinal cord injuries to see if imagining a movement helps accomplish the movement better. The study is designed to demonstrate motor imaging training on hand and wrist function. Brain activity will be measured (non-invasively) with an electroencephalography (EEG) neurofeedback device and displayed on a screen. This shows how activity changes when participants imagine the movement. The trial will look at whether thinking about moving the wrist, while seeing brain activity change accordingly, will subsequently help hand and wrist movement. If selected for the trial, participants will do exercises for 45 minutes, 3 times/week for 5 weeks. Participants will either imagine the movement with the EEG feedback device, imagine the movement without the device, or will do an imagination that is not movement-related. Grasping function and performance will be measured.
