Low oxygen and muscle weakness: new study links sleep apnea to grip strength in spinal cord injury

NCT ID NCT04017767

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study looked at how sleep apnea and low oxygen levels impact muscle strength and lung function in 30 adults with chronic spinal cord injury. Researchers measured hand grip strength and muscle activity to compare those with and without moderate to severe sleep apnea. The goal was to better understand these connections, not to test a treatment.
