Restoration of Arm Function in People With High-level Tetraplegia

About this trial

This trial is recruiting individuals with recent spinal cord injuries to test the effect of a technique that applies electrical stimulation through the skin to nerves (functional electrical stimulation: FES) to cause contraction of weakened or paralyzed arm muscles. Researchers will combine FES with mobile arm supports to compensate for insufficient muscle force, tailored to the specific functional limitations of each participant. If included, participants will receive arm-supported FES device for 6 months. The study will include evaluations of user satisfaction performing functional tasks while using the device.
