Summary

This study tests whether combining non-invasive spinal cord stimulation with breathing exercises can improve lung function in 36 adults with chronic spinal cord injury. Participants will be split into three groups: breathing training alone, stimulation alone, or both together. The goal is to see if the combination leads to stronger breathing muscles and better lung capacity.
