Spinal cord injuries (SCI) at the cervical level can lead to permanent upper limb and hand motor impairments, thus restoring upper limb function is amongst the highest priorities for SCI patients and can have extensive effects on improving quality of life and patient independence. We previously showed that long-term cortical stimulation of the motor cortex (10 weeks) when applied in conjunction…
