DEVICE

Abdominal Stimulation - low / early

"Transcutaneous electrical stimulation applied to the abdominal wall muscles in synchronous with volitional exhalation.~Stimulation is applied at low stimulation current for the first half of exhalation"

DEVICE

Abdominal stimulation - low/late

"Transcutaneous electrical stimulation applied to the abdominal wall muscles in synchronous with volitional exhalation.~Stimulation is applied at low stimulation current for the second half of exhalation"

DEVICE

Abdominal Stimulation - low/full

"Transcutaneous electrical stimulation applied to the abdominal wall muscles in synchronous with volitional exhalation.~Stimulation is applied at low stimulation current throughout exhalation"

DEVICE

Abdominal stimulation - med/early

"Transcutaneous electrical stimulation applied to the abdominal wall muscles in synchronous with volitional exhalation.~Stimulation is applied at medium stimulation current for the first half of exhalation"

DEVICE

Abdominal stimulation - med/late

"Transcutaneous electrical stimulation applied to the abdominal wall muscles in synchronous with volitional exhalation.~Stimulation is applied at medium stimulation current for the second half of exhalation"

DEVICE

Abdominal Stimulation - med/full

"Transcutaneous electrical stimulation applied to the abdominal wall muscles in synchronous with volitional exhalation.~Stimulation is applied at medium stimulation current throughout exhalation"

DEVICE

Abdominal Stimulation - high/early

"Transcutaneous electrical stimulation applied to the abdominal wall muscles in synchronous with volitional exhalation.~Stimulation is applied at high stimulation current for the first half of exhalation"

DEVICE

Abdominal Stimulation - high/late
