Diaphragm and sternocleidomastoid muscle activity with increasing inspiratory pressure loads in people after stroke

Diaphragm and sternocleidomastoid muscle activity with increasing inspiratory pressure loads in people after stroke

Abstract This study reports the concomitant contraction pattern of the diaphragm and sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscles at various inspiratory pressure loads in patients after stroke. Thirty-six participants (stroke duration: 3.6 ± 2.9 months) performed in random order, sets of 10 breaths at inspirat...
