Summary

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine whether combined intercostal muscle and diaphragm pacing can maintain full-time ventilatory support in patients with ventilatory dependent quadriplegia who are not candidates for phrenic nerve pacing alone.

II. Evaluate the efficacy of the Medlink device to produce synchronous intercostal and diagram activation in these patients.
