About this trial
The proposed study seeks to understand how the cervical spinal cord should be stimulated after injury through short-term physiology experiments that will inform a preclinical efficacy trial. The purpose of this study is to determine which cervical levels epidural electrical stimulation (EES) should target to recruit arm and hand muscles effectively and selectively in spinal cord injury (SCI).
