About This Cervical Spinal Cord Injury Study in Englewood

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and tolerability of non-invasive spinal stimulation used in the home and/or community in combination with a functional home exercise program for the upper extremities (arm/hand function) as well as their combined impacts on changes in upper extremity function. The expected duration of participation in this study is about 31-33 hours over a 13-25-week period. Enrollees in this study will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: 1) upper extremity functional task-specific training combined with non-invasive transcutaneous spinal stimulation, or 2) waitlist control, which involves the same intervention, but with a 12-week delayed start. Participants complete initial testing (one time if in group one and three times \[at weeks 0, 8, and 12\] if in group two), 24 1-hour training sessions (2x/week in home with caregiver/companion support and 1x/week with research team in person or via video conference for 8 weeks), a post-treatment evaluation, and a final evaluation (4 weeks after post-treatment).
