Abstract
Survival relies on neural respiratory drive from the medullary respiratory centres to activate the respiratory muscles for breathing. Accurate assessment of respiratory muscle activity, as an estimate of neural respiratory drive in humans, will facilitate a greater understanding of respiratory physiology, the pathophysiology of diseases and injuries, clinical investigations and the neurophysiology of breathlessness perception. Here, we highlight the methodologies to measure respiratory muscle activity, their appropriate application, the potential limitations of the data and their safety and feasibility considerations. These recommendations can be applied to all skeletal muscles.
期刊介绍：
Experimental Physiology publishes research papers that report novel insights into homeostatic and adaptive responses in health, as well as those that further our understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms in disease. We encourage papers that embrace the journal’s orientation of translation and integration, including studies of the adaptive responses to exercise, acute and chronic environmental stressors, growth and aging, and diseases where integrative homeostatic mechanisms play a key role in the response to and evolution of the disease process. Examples of such diseases include hypertension, heart failure, hypoxic lung disease, endocrine and neurological disorders. We are also keen to publish research that has a translational aspect or clinical application. Comparative physiology work that can be applied to aid the understanding human physiology is also encouraged.
Manuscripts that report the use of bioinformatic, genomic, molecular, proteomic and cellular techniques to provide novel insights into integrative physiological and pathophysiological mechanisms are welcomed.
