Using respiratory inductive plethysmography to measure 8 patients with paroxysmal and/or ataxic breathing patterns, 5 were shown to revert to normal with 3 others markedly improved within 5 months of CCS. Compliance testing of the ankle was performed on 4 patients who showed improvement in 9 of the 16 tests performed. Motor performance ability was evaluated with 9 comprehensive tests in 17 patients. Following 1-2 weeks of CCS, 52\% showed performance increases greater than 10\%, increasing to 62\% during the first year.
