Time-effect of FEST+TST in the Upper-extremity Rehabilitation of Individuals with Traumatic SCI (NCT04910204)
Time Sensitivity of Adaptive Neuroplasticity and Functional Recovery Related to FEST in Combination with TST for Rehabilitation of Upper Extremity Function of Individuals with Tetraplegia
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the timing of delivery of functional electrical stimulation therapy in combination with task-specific training (FEST+TST) following spinal cord injury (SCI) influences functional and neurological recovery.
