Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • CORRELATION BETWEEN MAXIMAL INSPIRATORY PRESSURE AND HAND GRIP FORCE

    MIP was measured using a U-type water manometer calibrated in cmH2O, while the HGS was measured with hydraulic hand dynamometer calibrated in Kg.

    one month

Study Arms (1)

Healthy individuals

EXPERIMENTAL

Study population was consisted by healthy volunteers from hospital staff of physical therapy department, Intensive Care Unit, and cleaning service. All subjects were men and women aged between 20 and 65 years old, who never had major problems with the respiratory system or with the hand flexors.

Other: Healthy individuals

Interventions
