There are lots of exercises that you can give to a px suffering from Spinal Cord Injury. Concentrate on the muscles or groups of muscles that are fully innervated and from there focus on strengthening it. Check the muscles that are denervated meaning zero muscle grade and from there you can stimulate it using a stimulator. If you want to exercise that denervated muscle just do Passive range of motion.

I also suggest you to do a further reading on Physical Medicine & rehabilitation 2nd ed by Randall Braddom
