Abstract		This paper provides technical details of a third-generation stimulator for abdominal muscles of individuals with spinal cord injury to provide or assist ventilation. The design requirements are distinctly different from stimulators used to restore function to upper and lower extremity function. The design provides improvements on the initial versions of these devices, with respect to output levels and monitoring of stimulus intensity during experimental sessions.
