title: Magnetic splint for object retrieval.
abstract: The magnetic splint and complementary adapted objects allow patients with high-level spinal cord injuries independence in retrieving commonly used objects. This device has proved effective for patients with high-level spinal cord injuries who are not presently using an assistive splint and who are capable of bringing the hand to the mouth, often with the assistance of a mobile arm support or overhead sling.
