Conditions

Cervical spinal cord injury

Interventions

Regular training Group:The subjects received 20 minutes of regular upper limb function training on each side every day, including step plate training, step ring training, upper limb push-up training,
Upper limb robot-assisted training group:The subjects received 20 minutes of upper limb robot training on each side every day. The upper limb robot training was conducted using the ArmLine 3D trainin
Upper limb robot-assisted combine with FES training group:The subjects received 20 minutes of robot-assisted combined FES training for each arm every day
The FES was conducted using a functional electrical stimulation training device (FUL4), with current intensity ranging from 8 to 50 mA, pulse width of 250 µs, pulse frequency of 20 to 70 Hz, and the s
