This trial is enrolling 34 individuals with chronic spinal cord injuries and other neurological diseases to test the effect of hand surgery and intensive rehabilitation on spasticity. The surgery involves lengthening of tendons, release of muscles, and in some cases, correction of deformities. If included, participants will either undergo: 1) hand surgery and rehabilitation training beginning one day after surgery for 1 week in hospital and 3 weeks at home; or 2) standard treatment using botulinum toxin injections.
