A respiratory training device providing both inspiratory and expiratory functional evaluation and training, as well as independent regulation of both the inspiratory and expiratory airway resistance levels used during training. The respiratory training device also includes data acquisition, recording, storage, retrieval and display functions for airway pressure monitoring data to provide functional evaluation, physiological monitoring, and diagnostic features. The respiratory training device allows the user to easily develop and follow precise and advanced training protocols, and utilize the respiratory device in both the clinical and home setting.

Respiratory training and airway pressure monitoring device

Disclosed herein are methods for neurostimulation therapy for spinal cord injury. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods for neurostimulation therapy for spinal cord injury. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods for providing multiple independent, simultaneous waveforms in neurostimulation therapy while minimizing or substantially eliminating undesirable interactions between the waveforms.

Methods for providing optimized neurostimulation

Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods for applying epidural electrical stimulation to improve motor function or physiological responses in paralyzed individuals. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods for creating and applying specific configurations of epidural stimulation to assist or cause a patient to perform a complex motor function or to mitigate one or more secondary consequences of paralysis including, but not limited to, cardiovascular, respiratory, bladder, temperature and sexual dysfunction.

Methods for applying epidural electrical stimulation

Described are devices including stimulation assemblies connectable to a plurality of electrodes. The plurality of electrodes can be configured to connect to a spinal cord at a location below a lesion of the spinal cord. The stimulation assembly can be configured to deliver stimulation to selected ones of the plurality of electrodes when the stimulation assembly is connected to the plurality of electrodes when located below the lesion of the spinal cord. Methods of using the devices are also described.
