Summary

The goal of this study is to understand the effects of combined task practice with transcutaneous cervical spinal cord stimulation. The study will explore the effect of higher stimulation frequencies on spasticity. Transcutaneous stimulation has been shown to improve motor function in some individuals with chronic spinal cord injury. The study intends to explore scientifically the association between higher stimulation frequencies and spasticity/hypertonicity.

Conditions

• Spinal Cord Injury Cervical
• Spastic

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Task Practice combined with Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Stimulation( TcSCS)	Hand rehabilitative tasks ( for gross hand movement, grasp and pinch tasks) will be done by participants during which time the participant will receive TcSCS. This will be done three times a week for 60 minutes.
