Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The measurements of the inertial sensors will be related to the measured tidal<br /><br>volumes and airway pressures, as obtained at the various levels of airway<br /><br>obstruction.</p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The measurements of respiratory induction plethysmography as well as clinical<br /><br>signs of airway obstruction will be recorded, as obtained at the various levels<br /><br>of airway obstruction.</p><br>
