Summary

This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation of the spinal cord, combined with breathing exercises, can improve lung function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. About 36 adults 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 health.
