Abstract
An abdominal restraint system for protecting a patient from the strain of a cough or the like in which an abdominal belt is tightened around the patient in response to physiological conditions of the patient associated with onset of a cough or the like. Detection of cough onset is achieved by means of pressure sensors, body movement sensors or both. Controlled restraint is achieved by selective inflation or mechanical tightening of the belt.
