Respiratory Muscle Activity

Effect of body position on electromyographic (EMG) activity has been studied in the cranio-cervical-mandibular muscles, but its effect on the activity of respiratory muscles in subjects with different breathing types has not yet been elucidated. This study included two groups of twenty male subjects each, one with upper costal and the other with costo-diaphragmatic breathing type. EMG activity was recorded using bipolar surface electrode technique. Electrodes were placed on the sternocleidomastoid (SCM), diaphragm (DIA), and external intercostal (EIC) and Latissimus dorsi (LAT) muscles.
