Study Summary

The investigators are conducting a research study to try to improve rehabilitation interventions for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). In this study, the aim is to determine if temporarily numbing non-paralyzed arm muscles with an over-the-counter numbing cream while exercising paralyzed muscles, can improve the strength, function, and sensation of paralyzed muscles after a spinal cord injury.

Primary Outcome

The investigators will use an electrical stimulator to send an electrical signal to a target muscle to initiate contraction, and an Electromyography (EMG) will be used to record the changes in target muscle response from baseline, pre-test, and post-test. An electronic nerve stimulator will output a pulse ranging from 0 mV to 2 mV for an appropriate maximum muscle contraction to occur, and an Electromyography (EMG in root mean square) will capture the muscle's contraction via surface electrodes
