The Symposia aims to detail a process of translating clinical research to clinical intervention and present long-term potential for AIH, including use in patients with motor complete SCI, interventions for upper extremity deficits and optimization of hypoxic intervals.

Learning Objectives:

• 1. Understand the scientific background and rationale for clinical implementation of AIH in patients with motor incomplete SCI
• Explain clinical decision making and process of implementation of AIH in an outpatient clinical setting
• 3. Review preliminary response of patients with motor incomplete SCI to clinical application of AIH over 5-8 treatment sessions
