A project testing a neurostimulation system combined with physical therapy to improve motor function in people with chronic post-stroke hemiparesis.
Description
This project aims to test the efficacy of a neurostimulation system targeting the cervical spinal cord in combination with physical therapy to improve motor recovery in people with chronic post-stroke hemiparesis. The study hypothesizes that spinal cord stimulation (SCS) will enable functional arm and hand movements, leading to long-term motor recovery.
