What is it about?
The article discusses the impact of inducing intermittent low oxygen air to individuals with spinal cord injuries on motor and respiratory outcomes such as muscle activity and respiratory functions. The acute intermittent hypoxia is a novel intervention that was recently administered to individuals with spinal cord injuries in experimental settings.

Why is it important?
Individuals with spinal cord injuries have very limited treatment options that could restore their motor abilities, therefore, the promising results of this novel intervention i.e., acute intermittent hypoxia could be a glimmer of hope for them.
