Study Summary
This project will evaluate the effects of intramuscular diaphragm stimulation (pacing) and test the hypothesis that diaphragm pacing enhances neuromuscular diaphragm activation and respiratory function in adults with cervical spinal cord injuries (C-SCIs). The investigators will test the hypothesis by recording activity of the diaphragm from intramuscular pacing electrodes and conduct respiratory assessments in adults with intramuscular diaphragm pacing electrodes following acute, traumatic C-SCIs.
Primary Outcome
Neuromuscular activation of the diaphragm will be assessed by recording diaphragm EMGs from the surgically-implanted intramuscular stimulating electrodes. This approach will allow for comparisons of EMG recordings across time. EMGs will be recorded during non-stimulated respiration (diaphragm pacer turned off) and simultaneously with assessments of respiratory function.
