We are inviting adults living with a cervical spinal cord injury (C1–C8) AISA A-C classification to participate in a study at the University of Calgary Foothills campus examining how speaking influences blood pressure.

Participation includes three short (10-minute each) speaking activities, a brief set up questionnaires, and non-invasive monitoring of your heart and blood pressure while you sit comfortably in your wheelchair. The in-person portion takes 1.5-2 hours, and the questionnaires take 30 minutes to complete. This study has been approved by the University of Calgary Conjoint Health Research Ethics Board (REB23-1267).
