Decision aid about tendon vs. nerve transfer vs. no surgery after spinal cord injury

The team is developing a web-based tool for people who have had a cervical level spinal cord injury (SCI) that limits movement in their arms and hands. The tool will help them learn about 2 types of surgery that can help bring back (regain) movements, strength, or both, that were lost from the injury. These surgeries are called nerve transfer and tendon transfer.
