Brief Summary:
This is a single blind, sham controlled crossover trial that will evaluate the effectiveness of acute intermittent hypoxia therapy (AIH) combined with transcutaneous (non-invasive) spinal cord stimulation on gait and balance function for individuals after spinal cord injury.
Detailed Description:
OBJECTIVES:
* To determine whether acute intermittent hypoxia therapy (AIH) combined with transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation during ambulation training modulates spinal locomotor networks in individuals with spinal cord injury
* To determine whether acute intermittent hypoxia therapy (AIH) combined with transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation during ambulation training improves locomotor function in individuals with spinal cord injury
* To determine whether acute intermittent hypoxia therapy (AIH) combined with transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation during ambulation training improves symmetry of gait in individuals with spinal cord injury
* To determine whether acute intermittent hypoxia therapy (AIH) combined with transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation during ambulation training improves standing posture and balance in individuals with spinal cord injury
* To determine whether ambulation efficiency (improved cardiovascular conditioning) improves with a combination of AIH, transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation and ambulation training in individuals with spinal cord injury
