Not Applicable
- Conditions
- Healthy volunteers
- Registration Number
- JPRN-UMIN000033011
- Lead Sponsor
- Tokyo Bay Urayasu Ichikawa Medical Center
- Brief Summary
Passive cephalic excursion of the diaphragm during the cough expiratory phase significantly predicted CPF with maximum cough effort in healthy adults. Future studies should investigate the relationship between CPF and excursion in persons with respiratory and neuromuscular disorders.
