Methods may also include the use of more than one contact to target more than one motor efferent and stimulating more than one muscle. The stimulation load to maintain the position of the tongue may be shared by each muscle. The position of the patients tongue may be controlled in order to prevent 10 obstructive sleep apnea.WO 20101042404 PCT1US20091059374 6106 FIG. 10 1064
