Restoring upper extremity function in patients with cervical spinal cord injury is extremely important for patients' independence and quality of life. At present, there are limited options for hand or arm reanimation in this patient population. Nerve transfer is one such option that can partially restore the natural movement of hand or arm function in select patients. The investigators are interested in understanding whether recovery of hand or arm motor function after nerve transfer can be augmented by cervical epidural spinal cord stimulation.
