The goal of this study is to investigate the effects of cervical epidural spinal stimulation with upper extremity training.
This is an investigational study. The device used for epidural spinal stimulation (ESS) to deliver spinal stimulation is called the CoverEdgeX 32 Surgical Lead system. This device is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of severe pain and to manage chronic pain when other treatments have not been effective. In this study, the device is considered an investigational device because it is not approved for use in the treatment of spinal cord injury
