Abstract:
15 asthmatic children and 15 healthy children were trained to adjust their breathing pattern to a target pattern displayed on a video screen by using visual feedback. The error scores in the two groups were not significantly different. These data did not support the hypothesis that voluntary control of respiratory muscles is impaired in asthmatics.
