Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective of our work is to develop and test the safety and feasibility of a home-based upper limb rehabilitation program for individuals with tetraplegia. The program will consist of simultaneous non-invasive spinal cord stimulation and immersive virtual exercises of the upper limbs, with a focus on shoulder and elbow function.
