Improving SCI Rehabilitation Interventions by Retraining the Brain

Participants in this arm will receive active tDCS(2mA) to the motor cortex(targeting the triceps) of the weaker upper limb for 2 30 minute cycles during each 2 hour upper limb training session. While receiving tDCS the participant will be performing task oriented practice for the weaker upper limb. Participants will receive these interventions for 15 sessions over several weeks up to 8 weeks.
