Abstract
Various system embodiments comprise a neural stimulator and a controller. The neural stimulator is adapted to generate a stimulation signal adapted to elicit sympathetic activity at a neural target. The controller is adapted to control the neural stimulator to provide a physical conditioning therapy. The controller is adapted to control the neural stimulator to intermittently elicit sympathetic activity at the neural target. Other aspects and embodiments are provided herein.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- means for providing a physical conditioning therapy, wherein the means for providing the physical condition therapy includes:
- a memory programmed with instructions for delivering a physical conditioning therapy that elicits sympathetic activity correlated to an exercise regimen to mimic a sympathetic response to the exercise program;
- and
- means performing the instructions to elicit sympathetic activity correlated to the exercise regimen to mimic the sympathetic response to the exercise regimen,
- wherein the means for eliciting the sympathetic activity includes means for intermittently stimulating a neural target to elicit the sympathetic activity correlated to the exercise regimen.
