Spasticity in SCI Following Acute Intermittent Hypoxia (NCT07583498)
Does the Administration of Acute Intermittent Hypoxia in Persons With Chronic Spinal Cord Injury Make Spasticity Worse?
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study aims to observe the effects of administration of a breathing intervention (Acute Intermittent Hypoxia (AIH)) on spasticity (tightness) in individuals with incomplete Spinal Cord Injury. It is hypothesized that hypoxia will decrease the reflex threshold of the biceps brachii, indicating an increase in spasticity following the AIH.
