This trial is enrolling individuals with incomplete cervical spinal cord injuries to test the effect of a commercial upper limb robotic exoskeleton (Myomo) on arm and hand function. An exoskeleton is an externally worn powered robotic device to assist movement. If included, participants will undergo a 12-week rehabilitation program with three to four 45-minute sessions per week in addition to their usual care and rehabilitation. Final testing of arm and hand function, strength, range of motion, and spasticity will be performed after 12 weeks.
