Vibration therapy is a possible alternative to drug-based treatments for spasticity following SCI. Research indicates that it may provide temporary relief from spasticity, but many interventions under investigation are not portable and therefore access is limited. The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using a portable vibrating device to decrease UE spasticity.
