Daily acute intermittent hypoxia combined with walking practice enhances walking performance but not intralimb motor coordination in persons with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury
This study explored how combining Acute Intermittent Hypoxia (low oxygen breathing) and walking practice affects walking performance and coordination in people with chronic complete spinal cord injuries. Results suggest that this combination increases walking speeds and distances, but may not have any effect on limb coordination while walking. Surprisingly to the researchers, the largest improvements…
