High-level spinal cord injury (SCI) results in a very limited innervated skeletal muscle mass that strongly reduces exercise capacity. Our recent work showed that when adding functional electrical stimulation (FES) of the paralyzed legs (hybrid FES-exercise) to produce higher exercise capacity, peak ventilation became a limiting factor to training-induced improvement in aerobic capacity. Our assumption was that the systemic adaptations to exercise training are delimited by the maximal ventilation that can be achieved. However, herein, we present a case showing an acute increase in aerobic capacity when using noninvasive ventilatory support (NIV) during FES-rowing test in an individual who had previously experimented a plateau in his aerobic capacity for 18 mo. An 18-yr-old man with C5 SCI trained with arms-only rowing for 6 mo and subsequently trained with hybrid FES-rowing for 18 mo. Peak minute ventilation ((V) over dot(E)(peak)) and peak oxygen consumption ((V) over doto(2peak)) were increased after arms-only training and increased further with 6 mo of hybrid FES-row training. Despite continued intense and frequent, hybrid FES-row training, neither (V) over dot(E)(peak) nor (V) over doto(2peak) increased further over the next year (1.94 and 66.0 1/min). However, when this individual performed a FES-rowing (V) over doto(2p)(eak) test with the addition of NIV, (V) over dot(Epeak) increased by 5 1/min, resulting in an improved (V) over doto(2pe)(ak) (2.23 1/min, +12%). This case demonstrates that noninvasive ventilation can overcome limitations to ventilation in high-level SCI and improve aerobic capacity during hybrid FES-exercise to a level not otherwise achievable. In addition, it broadly illustrates the intimate role of pulmonary function in determining the capacity to perform exercise.
