Development & Validation of Respiratory Muscle Strength Measurement System

A respiratory Pressure monitor is a digital monitor, which is simply structured, designed, and developed under the aegis of a pressure sensor. The maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressure is said to be the most sensitive parameter for the assessment of the respiratory strength of the human body. It is the simplest device to evaluate strength. Maximum Inspiratory Pressure (MIP) and Maximum Expiratory Pressure (MEP) is a direct measurement of strength. At present, Respiratory pressure monitoring indicative of muscle strength is the foremost part of treatment. The major aim of analyzing this is to get the actual value of MIP and MEP as an output for the age group between 20 to 40 years. The effective diagnosis of numerous victims having respiratory difficulties and different neuromuscular conditions can be done with the assistance of the proposed device. This device is functional for a quick assessment of inspiratory and expiratory pressures. Hence, it will be beneficial to medical practitioners as it will give insight into breathing problem symptoms like dyspnea and hypercapnia. It consists of a storage facility when connected to a PC. The device is calibrated against a standard U-tube manometer, reading pressures in centimeters of water column (cmH2O). A respiratory pressure monitor is a low-cost, accurate, and portable instrument, which can bring few supportive changes in the medical field.
