The design of the study is a randomised, triple-blind clinical trial with a control group. The size of the sample will be 56 participants with cervical spinal cord injury and 56 with dorsal spinal cord injury. They will be randomized in two groups: experimental or control. The experimental group will perform combined inspiratory and expiratory muscle training as part of their rehabilitation programme during 6 weeks. The control group will continue their usual treatment. Measurements will be taken at baseline, and post-intervention. The statistical analysis will be an intention-to-treat analysis, and the data processing and analysis will be carried out with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24.0 for Windows (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.).
