AB Nexus Award
May 20, 2021
Drs. Andrew C. Smith, PT, DPT, PhD and Andrew Q. Tan, PhD, were awarded an AB (CU Anschutz-Boulder) Nexus Research Collaboration Grant Award. Together they will team up on a project:
“Spinal cord injury (SCI) disrupts sensory and motor pathways, resulting in lifelong mobility impairments and loss of functional independence.” This study will characterize how breathing modest bouts of low oxygen (acute intermittent hypoxia; AIH) may enhance the excitability of spared pathways to the lower limb as well as augment motor adaptation in humans with SCI.”
