BREATHE hosted the second Neurotherapeutic Intermittent Hypoxia Workshop, with over 50 attendees from around the world. Participants discussed the therapeutic potential of intermittent hypoxia to enhance traditional rehabilitation in motor (walking, hand/arm, swallowing, breathing), sensory, autonomic and cognitive neural systems. Talks were presented suggesting efficacy in spinal cord…
