Brief Summary

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

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is devastating event, the individual become significant burden on their family and society SCI is impairments of sensory, motor and autonomic functions. There is no proper cure and care after SCI, no proper assessment and treatment is present in under developed countries Cross sectional study design will be used and 75 patients included in this study. The population included age 21-55 years, both gender included, teraplegic with lesion level C5-C7, Mini Mental State of Examination ≥24, patient should be medically stable. The patient excluded with history of peripheral nerve lesion as brachial pluxes impairment. For assessment of hand function tools should be used tenodesis grip strength is assessed Graded Redefined Assessment of Strength sensibility and prehension (GRASSP test), and functional hand recovery assessed by jebsen\_Taylor Hand function test (JTHFT\_IT), hand dynamo meter for grip strength, Action Arm reach test for hand function and spinal cord independence measure will be used. Pearson correlation will be uses to find the association between hand grip strength and functional activities of hand. The collected data will be analyzed by using SPSS 23.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is important area for research, because of planning the services for the disabled and also decisions making for the prevention and control of SCI. Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a highly destructive and damaging condition with enormous financial, social, and personal costs. As, there is no known cure for SCI. so, primary prevention is a necessary. Due to high incidence of road traffic accidents, epidemiologic data concerning that, it is the specific causes of spinal cord injury and the other causes of spinal cord injury Traumatic including transport, fall, diving in shallow water, other may be non- traumatic including iatrogenic. So, the understanding of this is important due to preventive strategies and for planning better treatment and cure. The most devastating aspects of spinal cord injury are Quadriplegia because it is the impairment of arm and hand function, which badly affect the individual's level of independence. Improving arm and hand function has been reported to be a high priority for individuals with SCI.As, the hand function change with neurological level of lesion specially in cervical spinal cord injury. In which hand function is almost completely loss above C5 and below C7 cord lesion the upper limb functions almost preserved. The high priority is preserved hand function due to personal independence and improve the quality of life. Tenodesis function is used to facilitate the functional hand grasp and release by adjusting the position of wrist in tetraplagic peoples. When the wrist flexed, fingers and thumb open and when the wrist extended, fingers and thumb flexed into palm. It is possible for those who have wrist extension in grade 3 and no active movement of fingers Tenodesis grasp is useful for C6-C7 spinal cord injury because they have control on wrist movement and limited finger control. So they can easily grasp and release objects than those who have no or limited control over their hands. That is helpful for their ADLs. Functional hand recovery or hand strength in Quadriplegia is improved with repetitive active or passive ROM. The above and below the spinal level of lesion. Hand grip devices also used for improving the grip strength and hand function in SCI.According to searched data no study conducted to describe the association between the functional hand recovery with reference to neurological lesion level of cervical spinal cord injury and tenodesis grip strength. To find out the association between the tenodesis grip and functional hand recovery in patient with cervical spinal cord injury.
