Neurosleeve
for Arm Weakness/Paralysis
This trial is testing the NuroSleeve, a wearable device that helps people with weak or paralyzed arms move them using electrical signals. It is aimed at those who haven't fully recovered with standard therapies. The device detects small muscle movements and uses them to activate the brace and stimulate muscles, helping with arm movement. Electrical stimulation has been explored in various contexts, including improving arm and hand function in individuals with spinal cord injuries and post-stroke patients.

Air Mixture + Electrical Stimulation
for Spinal Cord Injury
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether people with paralysis due to a spinal cord injury can benefit from breathing short intermittent bouts of air with low oxygen (O2) combined with slightly higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), interspaced by breathing room air. The technical name for this therapeutic air mixture is 'acute intermittent hypercapnic-hypoxia,' abbreviated as AIHH. Following exposure to the gas mixture, participants will receive non-invasive electrical stimulation to the spinal cord paired with specific and targeted exercise training. The main question this trial aims to answer is: Can the therapeutic application of AIHH, combined with non-invasive electrical stimulation to the spinal cord plus exercise training, increase the strength of muscles involved in breathing and hand function in people with paralysis due to a spinal cord injury? Participants will be asked to attend a minimum of five study visits, each separated by at least a week. During these visits, participants will be required to: * Answer basic questions about their health * Receive exposure to the therapeutic air mixture (AIHH) * Undergo non-invasive spinal electrical stimulation * Complete functional breathing and arm strength testing * Undergo a single blood draw * Provide a saliva sample Researchers will compare the results of individuals without a spinal cord injury to those of individuals with a spinal cord injury to determine if the effects are similar.
