Measurement of the Diaphragm Loading During the Training With a IMT Device
Sponsor: Clínica Basilea
Summary
It is well known that the the training with the IMT device increases the Maximal Inspiratory Pressure. Nonetheless, there are doubts about which muscles are involved during this training. The aim of this study is to determine the diaphragm loading of healthy subjects during the training with a IMT device from a low . Therefore, each subject will be monitored using esophageal and gastric manometry.
