INSPIRE Lab – Clinic for Enhanced Independence at Spaulding Cambridge Outpatient

What Are We?

We are offering transcutaneous spinal stimulation (ARC^EX) and exercise, aimed at improving hand strength and function following spinal cord injuries. Our clinical care is delivered by licensed physical or occupational therapists in an outpatient setting, 2-3 times per week, for 8 weeks.

Health insurance will be billed based on outpatient therapy benefits. Private payment is not currently accepted.

Who Qualifies?

We are currently accepting only patients who meet all ARC^EX FDA-approved criteria:

18-75 years old
Non-progressive spinal cord injury
Incomplete cervical spinal cord injury (C2-C8; ASIA B, C, or D)
At least 1 year post-injury
No active implanted devices (e.g., pacemakers, baclofen pumps)

Referrals

If you qualify, please have your physician submit two referrals: one for Occupational Therapy (OT) and one for Physical Therapy (PT) to Spaulding Rehabilitation Cambridge – INSPIRE Lab (or ARC-Ex Clinic). Only one referral will be utilized, and we cannot guarantee availability in a specific discipline.
