No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Whether minimizing sternocleidomastoid (SCM) activation in supine position would increase diaphragm activation during loaded inspiratory muscle tests remains to be determined. Therefore, the purpose is to exam diaphragm and SCM activation during loaded inspiratory muscle tests in sitting and supine position in healthy adults.

Conditions

  • Accessory Muscle

Interventions

OTHER

Loaded inspiratory muscle test

Loaded inspiratory muscle tests will be set at 30% of maximal inspiratory pressure in sitting and supine positions. The orders of the two loaded test conditions will be conducted in random order with at least 20 minute separation. This is an observational study. Subjects will perform only 15 breaths with each loaded test condition to exam the performance of their inspiratory muscles. Loaded inspiratory muscle test is not for training.
