The development of the upper extremity neuroprosthesis has been a challenging and rewarding contribution to the management of the SCI patient. The authors' experience and that of their clinical trial teams has verified that this technology is a strong alternative to conventional reconstruction and conservative management. In the future, even more powerful tools will emerge from the laboratory as these devices and collaborative surgical procedures evolve.
