Body
Following spinal cord injury, peripheral nerve injury, and various upper motor neuron lesions, techniques like surgical tendon transfers can be utilized to restore function and correct joint deformities. The data collected within this body of research demonstrates the impact such an intervention can have on restoring an individual's functional independence.
