Journal ArticleDOI
Diaphragm strength in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
TL;DR: The ability of the diaphragm to generate transdiaphragmatic, and particularly a negative intrathoracic, pressure is reduced in COPD and these changes are exaggerated with acute-on-chronic hyperinflation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quadriceps strength and fatigue assessed by magnetic stimulation of the femoral nerve in man
Michael I. Polkey,D Kyroussis,Carl H. Hamnegard,Gary H. Mills,Malcolm L. H. Green,John Moxham +5 more
TL;DR: Magnetic femoral nerve stimulation is a painless, supramaximal method of assessing quadriceps strength and fatigue which is likely to be of value in clinical and physiological studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bilateral Magnetic Stimulation of the Phrenic Nerves from an Anterolateral Approach
Gary H. Mills,D Kyroussis,Carl H. Hamnegard,Michael I. Polkey,Malcolm L. H. Green,John Moxham +5 more
TL;DR: BAMPS is easy, well tolerated and can be used in the supine subject and partitioning of Pes and Pgas were very close for BAMPS and BES, suggesting similar specificity for the diaphragm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cough gastric pressure and maximum expiratory mouth pressure in humans.
William D.-C. Man,D Kyroussis,Tracey Fleming,Alfredo Chetta,Farzaneh Harraf,Naveed Mustfa,Gerrard F. Rafferty,Michael I. Polkey,John Moxham +8 more
TL;DR: Cough gastric pressure provides a useful complementary test for the assessment of expiratory muscle strength, and is effective in patients with facial muscle weakness or bulbar dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exhaustive treadmill exercise does not reduce twitch transdiaphragmatic pressure in patients with COPD.
Michael I. Polkey,D Kyroussis,S. E. J. Keilty,C H Hamnegard,Gary H. Mills,M Green,John Moxham +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that Tw Pdi is not reduced when patients with severe COPD walk to a state of extreme breathlessness and that therefore low frequency fatigue of the diaphragm does not occur.
