SCI Acute Intermittent Hypoxia and Non-Invasive Spinal Stimulation Combined With Gait Training

Study Description
Brief Summary:
This is a single blind, sham controlled crossover trial that will evaluate the effectiveness of acute intermittent hypoxia therapy (AIH) combined with transcutaneous (non-invasive) spinal cord stimulation on gait and balance function for individuals after spinal cord injury.

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

  • To determine whether acute intermittent hypoxia therapy (AIH) combined with transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation during ambulation training modulates spinal locomotor networks in individuals with spinal cord injury
  • To determine whether acute intermittent hypoxia therapy (AIH) combined with transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation during ambulation training improves locomotor function in individuals with spinal cord injury
  • To determine whether acute intermittent hypoxia therapy (AIH) combined with transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation during ambulation training improves symmetry of gait in individuals with spinal cord injury
  • To determine whether acute intermittent hypoxia therapy (AIH) combined with transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation during ambulation training improves standing posture and balance in individuals with spinal cord injury
  • To determine whether ambulation efficiency (improved cardiovascular conditioning) improves with a combination of AIH, transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation and ambulation training in individuals with spinal cord injury

Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment

Device: Acute Intermittent Hypoxia + Non Invasive Spinal Cord Stimulation + Gait Training
Subjects will receive up to 45 minutes of AIH prior to receiving transcutaneous electrical spinal cord stimulation delivered by a Transcutaneous Spinal Cord Neurostimulator while performing locomotor activities.
Other Name: AIH + tSCS+ Gait

Sham Comparator: Sham Acute Intermittent Hypoxia + Non Invasive Spinal Cord Stimulation + Gait Training

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in Gait Symmetry [ Time Frame: Session 1 (baseline test, initial visit), After 5 intervention sessions (Post Test), 1 week post (1 week follow up Post) ]
    Participants will ambulate along Gait Rite electronic walkway 6 times (3 times per gait speed) to evaluate baseline gait pattern at both their self-selected and safe fast gait speed. The Gait Rite electronic walkway contains sensor pads encapsulated in a carpet and connected to a computer. The system can be laid over any flat surface and automates measuring temporal and spatial gait parameters. The Gait Rite electronic walkway for the study shall be a minimum of 14 feet long. The Gait Rite data capture was chosen as measurement of the patient's overall gait quality.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in 10 Meter Walk Test [ Time Frame: Session 1 (baseline test, initial visit), After 5 intervention sessions (Post Test), 1 week post (1 week follow up Post) ]
    This test will examine the patient's gait speed. Patients will be directed to walk at their preferred maximum but safe speed.

  2. Change in 6 Minute Walk Test Using VO2 Analysis [ Time Frame: Session 1 (baseline test, initial visit), After 5 intervention sessions (Post Test), 1 week post (1 week follow up Post) ]
    The 6 Minute Walk Test (6MWT) measures the distance a subject can walk indoors on a flat, hard surface in a period of 6 minutes, using assertive devices, as necessary. The test is a reliable and valid evaluation of functional exercise capacity and is used as a sub-maximal test of aerobic capacity and endurance. The test will be used to determine participant's gait efficiency at baseline and at study completion. The walk test is patient self-paced and assesses the level of functional capacity. Patients are allowed to stop and rest during the test, however, the timer does not stop. If the patient is unable to complete the time, the time stopped is noted and reason for stopping prematurely is recorded. This test will be administered while wearing a portable gas analysis system called the Cosmed K4B2 to measure oxygen consumption. This system measures oxygen consumption (VO2) and Carbon-dioxide production (VCO2) in a breath by breath fashion.
