1. A respiration implant system for an implanted patient with impaired breathing, the system comprising:

  • a parasternal respiration sensor configured for intramuscular placement into parasternal muscle of the implanted patient to develop a respiration signal representing respiration activity of the implanted patient;

    a movement sensor configured to develop a patient movement signal representing movement of the implanted patient;

    a pacing processor configured to receive the respiration signal from the respiration sensor and the movement signal from the movement sensor to generate a respiration pacing signal synchronized with the respiration activity of the implanted patient; and

    a stimulating electrode configured to deliver the respiration pacing signal from the pacing processor to respiration neural tissue of the implanted patient to promote the breathing effort of the implanted patient.
