Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cervical Vertebrae Injury

In brief

The aim of the project is to test the effectiveness of robot-assisted upper-limb exercise in persons after cervical spinal cord injury. In a randomised controlled two-arm trial, the effect of adding two types of robot-assisted upper-limb exercise to standard occupational therapy will be tested. Three primary and two secondary outcomes will be assessed using well-established measures.
