Time Sensitivity of Adaptive Neuroplasticity and Functional Recovery Related to FEST in Combination with TST for Rehabilitation of Upper Extremity Function of Individuals with Tetraplegia
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the timing of delivery of functional electrical stimulation therapy in combination with task-specific training (FEST+TST) following spinal cord injury (SCI) influences functional and neurological recovery.
Inclusion: Subacute stage (<3 months) after traumatic, motor incomplete (AIS C or D), cervical SCI.
Exclusion: Substance abuse over 6 months prior to recruitment; Medical conditions that can limit treatment protocols; Other neurological diseases (i.e. peripheral neuropathies); Significant persisting mental illness; Contraindications for neurophysiological tests; Contraindications for FEST; Learning disabilities; Hearing and visual deficits sufficient to affect test performance; Contraindication to MRI scanning.
