MyHand-SCI: An Active Hand Orthosis for Spinal Cord Injury

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to develop and test the hardware and software components of the MyHand-SCI device to assist with hand function for individuals with C6-C7 spinal cord injury.
