Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Chronic patients more than 3 months after onset 2. Tetraplegia patients (C2-T1) 3. A patient with weakness in the muscle strength of the proximal part of the upper extremity. 4. If the proximal part of the upper extremity is good, endurance is low, and there is a limitation in performing daily activities such as eating and grooming. 5. Patients with shoulder and elbow range of motion of more than 90 degrees and 50 degrees, respectively. 6. Those who can sit tolerance for more than 30 minutes.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Those with severe contracture problems in the upper extremities 2. Patients with obvious diseases that can cause muscle weakness due to abnormalities in the central nervous system other than spinal cord injury (eg, neuromyalgia) 3. Those who have difficulty following the therapist's instructions due to cognitive problems. 4. Those who have limited upper extremity movement due to stiffness of MAS 3 or higher 5. A person who can independently carry out daily life activities
