| Research Abstract |
The breathing movement scale, which assesses breathing movement in five-level and deep breathing movement in nine -level, was developed on the base of the normal breathing movement we observed to objectively assess the breathing movement in clinical practice. A simple device was also developed to precisely measure the breathing movement on chest and abdominal wall. As a result, the breathing movement scale showed a high reliability and validity. These results suggest that the breathing movement scale is useful to objective assessment of breathing movement for patients with respiratory function disorders.
