Summary
This study tested a new approach to help people with spinal cord injury walk better. Participants breathed mild low-oxygen air (like being at high altitude) for short periods and received gentle electrical stimulation on their back, combined with walking practice. The goal was to see if this combination improves walking distance and speed more than walking practice alone. Fourteen adults with chronic spinal cord injury took part.
