Objective

A study to investigate the effectiveness of daily acute intermittent hypoxia therapy (dAIH), coupled with a massed practice intervention or the use of high repetition training with the Rapael Glove, to improve upper-extremity function in individuals with chronic incomplete cervical SCI.

Who Can Participate

  • History of spinal cord injury between the levels of C3-T1
  • At least 6 months since the onset of injury.
  • No history of heart problems.
  • Not currently participating in another research study.

 

Compensation

If you agree to take part in this research study, we will pay you the following for for your time and effort:

  •  $40 for the initial screening visit
  •  $40 for overnight oximetry assessment
  •  $40 for each training session that you complete with intermittent hypoxia and/or training
  •  $40 for each baseline and follow-up assessment session

If you visit the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab but are not able to complete the session that day, you will be paid $20 for your time and travel expenses. We expect each training session to last no more than 4 hours. However, if the session goes beyond 4 hours or if your total travel cost exceeds the reimbursement provided, you will be paid $10 for each additional hour.

Research Survey: Answer questions about your experience receiving Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS)

The purpose of this study is to test a set of surveys designed to determine if Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) are person-centered. Person-centered HCBS are based on what is important to the person receiving the services and are designed to help the recipient live the life they want to live. In order to determine if HCBS are person-centered, a set of surveys has been developed to measure the person-centeredness (or not) of HCBS. You will be helping to see if the surveys measure what they are intended to measure.
You will be asked questions about your daily life and your experience using HCBS.
