Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study will investigate the effects of the SIMEOX (an airway clearance device) on flow and volume generated in healthy subjects

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Device: SIMEOX
N/A

Detailed Description

This is a pilot study assessing the effect of the SIMEOX device on flow and volume generated in healthy subjects.

Assessment of flow and volume will be performed before and during the application of the SIMEOX. Vital capacity and expiratory flow will be assessed.
