This trial is enrolling individuals at least 3 months post-injury at the C5 to T10 levels to test the effect of breathing an increased concentration of oxygen above that of normal room air (hyperoxia) on sensory and motor function. If included, participants will undergo 4 sessions of breathing either: 1) room air; or 2) 99% oxygen through a face mask for 2 minutes. Each session will take approximately 1.5-2 hours. Duration of involvement in the study is a minimum of 7 weeks.
