Official Title: Neuromodulatory Rehabilitation for Respiratory Motor Function in Individuals With Chronic Spinal Cord Injury

Brief Summary: Respiratory complications are among the leading causes of death in patients with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI).Our previous work showed that pulmonary function can be improved by using our original respiratory training method.However, the effectiveness of this intervention is limited due to the disruption of brain-spinal connections and consequently lowered spinal cord activity below the injury level.Our recent studies showed that electrical stimulation of the spinal cord below the level of injury leads to…
