Improving Upper Extremity Function and Trunk Stability After Cervical Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
Enrolling by invitation · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Cervical Spinal Cord Injury
In brief
Ninety-nine individuals meeting the study's inclusion/exclusion criteria will be enrolled in this study. The objective of this study is to evaluate three different therapeutic approaches to synergistically retrain functional movement patterns of the upper extremities in combination with trunk stabilization to promote neurologic and functional recovery after SCI. Each subject will complete 40 sessions of intervention. Subjects will also complete a Baseline Evaluation (week 0), Re-Evaluation (week 4), Post Treatment Evaluation (week 8), and a Follow-Up Evaluation (week 12).
