People with a cervical spinal cord injury consider improvements in upper limb function as one of the most important factors in enhancing their quality of life. Specialized rehabilitation centers use innovative, assistive technology (e.g., robotic devices) to improve upper limb function in order to enhance the effects of functional training by providing increased therapy intensity and adaptive support in a controlled manner.
