Summary

This study tests whether a combination of electrical spinal cord stimulation and breathing exercises can improve respiratory function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. Researchers will enroll 30 adults with neck-level injuries to measure changes in breathing strength and muscle activity. The goal is to develop a new rehabilitation strategy to reduce breathing-related complications.
