Intermittent Hypoxia and Locomotor Training: Effects Following SCI
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Intermittent Hypoxia and Locomotor Training for Spinal Cord Injuries and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 16 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Change to Reflect What Was Done and reason Changes Were Made. The purpose of this study is to determine (1) if a specific breathing treatment (intermittent hypoxia) can promote changes in breathing function and (2) if pairing breathing treatments (hypoxia) with locomotor training can enhance the benefits of walking recovery observed with locomotor training alone (without breathing treatments).
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Individuals received exposure to intermittent hypoxia for 10 days, and placebo for 1-2 days.
Individuals received 10 days of locomotor training, intense walking training on a treadmill with body weight support. Manual assistance was provided at the legs to optimize stepping patterns.
