Frequently Asked Questions
How do I sign up for this opportunity to help with this research?
"49 individuals, aged 18-75 years old, who have suffered cervical spinal cord injury are being recruited for this trial. In addition to meeting the age requirement, it is essential that potential patients also: (1) have incomplete C1-C8 SCI; (2) be at least 1 year post injury; (3) demonstrate weakness of the triceps or biceps muscle in the weaker upper limb--this can be shown via a clinically detectable difference in power compared to the power of the spared antagonist(biceps and triceps respectively); and finally (4) show MRC scale results that are one grade lower than their original"
