Study Summary
The goal of this project is to strengthen residual corticospinal tract (CST) connections after partial injury using combined motor cortex and spinal cord stimulation to improve arm and hand function after spinal cord injury (SCI). To do this, the investigators will test the combination of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) in individuals with chronic cervical SCI.
Primary Outcome
Response to transcranial magnetic stimulation in hand and forearm muscles
