Summary
Investigators are trying to determine the therapeutic effect of the music glove and conventional hand exercise program to patients with spinal cord injuries. All participants will be randomized into two groups: AB and BA. They will all exercise at least 3 times a week for 3 weeks with minimum of 3 hours of exercise time per week. Participants will receive the other intervention at their 3 week post-therapy follow-up visits. Clinical evaluations will be performed at baseline 1 and 2 (3 to 10 days apart), post-therapy after the first intervention, 3-week post-therapy follow up, post-therapy after the second intervention, and 3-week post-second intervention follow up visits.
