title: A robust respiration follower for studies of diabetic autonomic neuropathy.
abstract: Studies of diabetic autonomic using the valsalva manoeuvre have previously utilized a strain gauge respiration monitor. The present paper describes a respiration follower for use in such work. This device was designed to be far less fragile and also to give a large, noise-free, output signal suitable for direct connection to a recording device.
