Popis: Tiffeneau manoeuvres are an important method in pulmonary function testing of the human lungs and can help to diagnose respiratory obstructions. Data from a motion capture system and a spirometer was used to evaluate Tiffeneau indexes which can theoretically be derived via a Smart-Shirt that incorporates three circumference measurements of the upper body. The mean error was 4.5% regarding the Tiffeneau indexes gained by the spirometer, indicating that clinical diagnosis of obstruction is potentially possible using a Smart-Shirt.
