Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The investigators have an existing exercise program (N\>70) with a unique population of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) who have been enrolled in FES-RT for at least 6 months. Roughly half have high level SCI. Thirty individuals with high level SCI who have FES-row trained for at least 6 months will be randomized to (continued) FES-RT for 3 months with either NIV or sham NIV. Before and after training, the investigators will assess maximal aerobic capacity, ventilation, cardiac output, and arterio-venous oxygen difference. Based on the investigators current data, it is hypothesized that only those randomized to NIV will experience further increases in aerobic capacity and that these increases will relate to increases in cardiac output and arterio-venous oxygen difference. This Exploratory/Developmental Research project will lay the groundwork for a larger study of the impact of FES-RT+NIV to improve health and function in those with high level SCI.
