Expiratory Pressure in Healthy Individuals

NCT06435793 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 49

Last updated 2026-02-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The present study aims at enhancing our understanding of the influence of the mouthpiece configuration on the amplitude of oral pressures generated during a maximum expiratory pressure maneuver and on the neuromuscular recruitment of expiratory muscles (more specifically of the internal oblique and the transverse abdominal muscles).

Conditions

  • Respiratory Physiology

Interventions

OTHER

MEP measurement - Surface EMG

Participants will undergo serial expiratory maneuvers using different mouthpieces. At each maneuver, the maximal expiratory mouth pressure at total lung capacity will be measured, alongside with the degree of neuromuscular activation of the internal oblique and transverse abdominal muscles using surface electromyography.
