COMPARISON OF LATERAL ABDOMINAL MUSCULATURE ACTIVATION DURING EXPIRATION WITH AN EXPIRATORY FLOW CONTROL DEVICE VERSUS THE ABDOMINAL DRAWING-IN MANEUVER IN HEALTHY WOMEN: A CROSS-SECTIONAL OBSERVATIONAL PILOT STUDY

Comparison of Lateral Abdominal Musculature Activation during Expiration with an Expiratory Flow Control Device Versus the Abdominal Drawing-in Maneuver in Healthy Women: A Cross-Sectional Observational Pilot Study

Background and Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to quantify and compare lateral abdominal musculature thickness, including the transverse abdominis (TrA), internal oblique (IO), and external oblique (EO) muscles, via rehabilitative ultrasound imaging (RUSI) during the use of the expiratory flow control device (EFCD) versus the class
