Abstract:
A system for assisted coughing includes a first sensor for measuring a parameter which can indicate a closed glottis and producing a first signal, a processor for receiving the first signal, determining a state indicating the closed glottis and generating an instruction for a Functional Electric Stimulation (FES) controller based, at least in part, on the determining, and a FES controller for generating an electric stimulation signal.
