Objective

The goal of this double-blind, placebo-controlled, block-randomized clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy and potency of daily acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) combined with transcutaneous electrical spinal stimulation (tSTIM) and skill-based walking practice. We hypothesize that the combination of AIH, tSTIM, and walking practice will boost the efficacy of training-related gains without triggering maladaptive changes.
