Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to describe the movement of the diaphragm during postural activation of the trunk muscles in comparison with tidal breathing.


Clinical Trial Description

Diaphragm movement will be measured by m-mode ultrasonography in a standing position. 30-35 healthy subjects will participate in the study. The movement of the diaphragm will be measured during tidal breathing then, during holding a load corresponding to 20% of the subject´s body weight and finally, during voluntary contraction of the trunk muscles. Trunk muscles contraction will be measured by a special device with pressure sensors placed on a trunk surface. Breathing activity will be measured by spirometry. ;
