Respiratory motor function in seated and supine positions in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury

Respiratory motor function in seated and supine positions in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury

Highlights • We examined changes in pulmonary function in patients with chronic SCI when assessed in seated and supine positions. • These changes were evaluated using spirometry and maximum air way pressure measurements. • The results indicate that postural effects on respiratory performance in thes...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • We examined changes in pulmonary function in patients with chronic SCI when assessed in seated and supine positions. • These changes were evaluated using spirometry and maximum air way pressure measurements. • The results indicate that postural effects on respiratory performance in these patients are specific to the respiratory task depending on severity and neurological level of SCI.
