Blood Pressure Variability and Cognition Following Mild Intermittent Hypoxia in Those with Spinal Cord Injuries

Learning Objectives:

• describe the potential impact of mild intermittent hypoxia on blood pressure variability and cognition in individuals with motor incomplete spinal cord injury
• describe how acute mild intermittent hypoxia may augment sympathetic measures of blood pressure variability, but this augmentation may be reduced by daily exposure to mild intermittent hypoxia in individuals with motor incomplete spinal cord injury
• describe potential correlations between changes in blood pressure variability and cognition after daily exposure to mild intermittent hypoxia in individuals with motor incomplete spinal cord injury
