Summary
This study looks at how spinal cord stimulation and different types of training (breathing, arm, or trunk exercises) affect lung and breathing muscle function in people with spinal cord injuries. About 36 adults with injuries at or above the T5 level will take part. The goal is to see which combination works best to improve breathing, which could help develop new treatments.
