Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •A person will be eligible to participate if they:
- •1\.have a recent complete or incomplete SCI (as defined by the International Standards for Neurological classification of SCI) that was sustained less than six months prior
- •2\.have partial paralysis in a major muscle group on one side of the body (i.e., elbow flexors or extensors, wrist flexors or extensors, knee flexors or extensors, ankle dorsiflexors or plantarflexors)
- •3\.have less than grade 3 on the 13 point manual muscle scale (that is they are unable to move through full range against gravity)
- •4\.are an inpatient of one of the participating SCI units and are likely to remain there for the duration of their involvement in the trial (i.e., approximately 9 weeks) or are being discharged home to the local area surrounding the hospital
- •5\.are aged 18 years or over at the time of consent
- •6\.are willing to participate in the trial
- •7\.are free of any other type of neurological condition or injury
Exclusion Criteria
- •A person is excluded from participation if they:
- •1\.have any condition preventing testing or training of the target muscle
- •2\.are not able to evoke a strong electrically stimulated contraction with the training parameters
- •3\.have paralysis in the target muscle
- •4\.are unable to co\-operate (e.g. a serious medical condition, cognitive impairment, drug dependency, psychiatric illness, and behavioural problem)
- •5\.do not speak the national language sufficiently well to provide informed consent
