Abstract

Aim. Maximal Expiratory Pressure (MEP) in the orthopneic position is stronger in comparison with supine and standing posture. However, the effect of trunk dynamic movement pattern on MEP has not been studied so far. We aimed to determine the changes in MEP, muscular activities following the use of different trunk movement in supine position.
