Intermittent Hypoxia and Upper Extremity EMG Recordings in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury

NCT05513911 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 8

Last updated 2022-08-24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In this current study, the examiners examine some of the mechanisms of how Acute Intermittent Hypoxia (AIH) effects the upper extremity of survivors of spinal cord injury. This is accomplished both with the use of a load cell to determine elbow strength changes and high density grid electromyography (EMG) to record bicep muscle activations before and after bouts of AIH

Conditions

  • Spinal Cord Injuries

Interventions

OTHER

Acute Intermittent Hypoxia

Acute Intermittent Hypoxia is administered in 30-60 second bouts of 9% O2 concentration, followed by 60-90 seconds of normoxic air concentrations (21% O2, room air). This procedure is repeated 15 times for a 30 minute session
