Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Stable medical condition without cardiopulmonary disease or dysautonomia that would contraindicate hand/arm movement
- No severe cardiopulmonary diseases such as severe bradycardia, severe autonomic dysreflexia, and/or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

- Female subjects of child-bearing potential must not be pregnant and must be using a medically acceptable method of contraception
- No current implant(s) of neurostimulators, cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, shunts, stents, or aneurysm clips, and must have no future exposure to diathermy following implantation
- No coagulopathy, cardiac risk factors, or other significant medical risk factors for surgery
- Must not be involved in another clinical trial
- Must not have disorders or conditions that would require MRI monitoring
Exclusion Criteria:
None as long as inclusion criteria are met.
