Technology-assisted Upper Extremity Rehabilitation in Subjects with Incomplete Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

About this trial

This trial is enrolling individuals with chronic incomplete cervical spinal cord injuries to test the effect of robotic rehabilitation training on arm/hand function. If included, participants will receive 30 min sessions of assisted rehabilitation training of the upper limbs with an AMADEO, PABLO and/or DIEGO device (Tyromotion), 3 times per week, for 6 weeks. This is a cross-over study, which means one group of participants will start the 6 week rehabilitation program while the other part of the participants continue their normal lives. The first period is followed by 4-week wash-out period. In the second period, roles of the participants will be switched. Changes in arm and hand function will be measured.
