The incidence of sleep apnea in the United States ranges from 2‐4 % in the general population, and is up to 15 times greater in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). Adjustments in the neural modulation of the arousal threshold (AT), chemoreflex sensitivity to hypoxia and hypercapnia (CS) and upper airway patency are three critical factors that contribute to exacerbation of sleep apnea.
