Simple oxygen intervention could help patients ‘dramatically improve’ after brain injuries
Motor learning skills let us move through the world: we use them to teach ourselves how to walk, how to pick up a drink, how to run. But age or sickness can weaken our ability to learn motor tasks.
How Does Intermittent Hypoxia Amplify the Functional Benefits of Task-specific Rehabilitation after Spinal Cord Injury?
Spinal cord injury impairs motor function, leading to chronic disability. Traditional exercise-based (task-specific) training alone is insufficient to restore motor function. An emerging rehabilitation strategy is to precondition the nervous system by breathing repeated episodes of low oxygen, a treatment…
