Acute Intermittent Hypoxia Combined With Gait Training in Multiple Sclerosis
This interventional, randomized, sham-controlled study will examine whether Acute Intermittent Hypoxia (AIH) delivered immediately before Myoelectric Interface Neurorehabilitation Training (MINT)-based locomotor training improves gait in people with Multiple Sclerosis. The primary objectives are to evaluate changes in gait speed and endurance, with secondary objectives assessing spatiotemporal gait parameters, fatigue, and safety. Participants will receive AIH or sham priming followed by standardized treadmill and/or overground gait training, with outcome measures collected before and after the intervention across multiple sessions.
