Maximal expiratory mouth pressure is a well established test that is used to assess expiratory muscle strength. However, low values are difficult to interpret, as they may result from technical difficulties in performing the test, particularly in pat

Background: Slowing of the inspiratory muscle maximum relaxation rate (MRR) is a useful index of severe inspiratory muscle loading and potential fatigue and has been measured from the oesophageal pressure during sniffs in patients with chronic obstru

The effect of Cushing's syndrome on respiratory muscle strength is unknown. Therefore, we studied 10 consecutive patients with severe Cushing's syndrome. The respiratory muscles were assessed using maximal inspiratory and expiratory mouth pressures (

The mouth occlusion pressure 100 ms after onset of inspiration (P0.1) is considered a clinically useful measure of the combined output of the respiratory centre and muscle pump. However, theoretical and practical difficulties can arise when using P0.

Cervical magnetic stimulation (CMS) produces a greater twitch transdiaphragmatic pressure (TwPdi) than electrical stimulation. This may be because CMS produces rib cage muscle activation, thus producing an inspiratory action independent of the diaphr

BACKGROUND: Accurate assessment of diaphragm strength can be difficult. Transdiaphragmatic pressure (PDI) measurements during volitional manoeuvres are useful but it may be difficult to ensure maximum patient effort. Magnetic stimulation of the phren

There is no nonvolitional method of assessing quadriceps strength which both supramaximally activates the muscle and is acceptable to subjects. In 10 normal subjects and 10 patients with suspected muscle weakness we used magnetic stimulation of the f

When highly motivated normal subjects perform maximal isocapnic ventilation, a substantial fall in ventilation is observed during the first minute associated with slowing of the maximum relaxation rate (MRR) of the inspiratory muscles. This suggests

BACKGROUND--Electrical stimulation of the phrenic nerve is a useful non-volitional method of assessing diaphragm contractility. During the assessment of hemidiaphragm contractility with electrical stimulation, low twitch transdiaphragmatic pressures
