Recruiting now · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Spinal Cord Injury, Spinal Cord Injury Cervical

In brief

The University at Buffalo (UB) Department of Rehabilitation Sciences is looking for adult volunteers with and without spinal cord injuries for a study on hand movement. The goal of the study is to learn about how the brain, nerves, and muscles of the body are connected and perform everyday tasks. This may help us to develop ways to improve the hand functions of people with spinal cord injuries.
