No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective is to evaluate whether the use of expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) reduces the electrical activity of the sternocleidomastoid muscle and enhances the action of the muscle in the patient parasternal ported from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Noting also, if the set pressure level (10 or 15 cmH2O) affects this relationship.

Conditions

  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Interventions

DEVICE

Expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) by face mask.

Implementation of the EPAP as group pressure, 10 or 15 cmH2O, for 20 minutes then evaluated the electromyographic activity of muscles and sternocleidomastoid parasternal the tenth and twentieth minutes of your application.
