Study Objectives
Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.Primary outcome measures
Change in 6 Minute Walk Test
Secondary outcome measures
Change in 10 Meter Walk Test
Timed Up and Go Test: Assesses mobility, balance, walking ability and fall risk

Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Acute Intermittent Hypoxia + Non Invasive Spinal Cord Stimulation + Gait TrainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
May receive up to 45 minutes of AIH prior to up to 50 min of locomotion training with transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation. However, the amount of time spent in side-lying locomotion training, treadmill training and overground training will depend on individual tolerance and progression.
Intervention: Device: AIH prior to Noninvasive spinal stimulation during gait training
Group II: Sham Acute Intermittent Hypoxia + Non Invasive Spinal Cord Stimulation + Gait TrainingPlacebo Group1 Intervention
May receive up to 45 minutes of Sham AIH prior to up to 50 min of locomotion training with transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation. However, the amount of time spent in side-lying locomotion training, treadmill training and overground training will depend on individual tolerance and progression.
Group III: Sham Acute Intermittent Hypoxia + Sham Non Invasive Spinal Cord Stimulation + Gait TrainingPlacebo Group1 Intervention
May receive up to 45 minutes of Sham AIH prior to up to 50 min of locomotion training with sham transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation. However, the amount of time spent in side-lying locomotion training, treadmill training and overground training will depend on individual tolerance and progression.
