Abstract
Although the effects of hyperinflation on the expiratory muscle are still poorly understood, it is generally accepted that it adversely affects the function of inspiratory muscle,1–2 due to shortening of these muscles which places them at a disadvantageous portion of their force-length relationship. Moreover, changes in diaphragmatic geometry,3 changes in the mechanical arrangement between the two parts of diaphragm,4 and changes in diaphragm-rib cage interaction occur.5 Much less, however, is presently known about the effects of hyperinflation on the extradiaphragmatic musculature, which contributes significantly to respiratory acts, even to quiet breathing in man,6–7 as well as in experimental animals.8–9
