Interventions
Magnetic phrenic nerve stimulation
The intervention consists of bilateral rapid magnetic phrenic nerve stimulation on the neck using different stimulation intensities. On one visit, the effect of increasing chest wall stiffness and respiratory muscle work by adding incrementally small weights to the chest/abdomen will be investigated.
