Study Summary
The proposed project seeks to maximize the functional recovery achieved during the rehabilitation of the paretic upper limbs in individuals with SCI. The investigation will work towards optimizing the use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), an adjunct known to improve the effectiveness of rehabilitation. In particular, the relationship between the specificity of current delivery and functional benefit will be explored, and findings may lead to a framework that can be translated to the clinic setting.
Primary Outcome
Graded Redefined Assessment of Strength, Sensibility, and Prehension (GRASSP) is a clinical tool that incorporates assessment of both upper limb motor function and activity limitations (9 hole peg test, grasping). The Investigators will assess the changes in movement control from Baseline, 2 weeks, and after four weeks of rehabilitation. An increase in time spent completing the peg test and grasping test signifies an increase in a participant's performance of strength, sensibility, and prehensio
