This study is testing a new device called pneuRIP that measures your breathing without needles or tubes. It uses special bands around your chest and stomach. Researchers want to see how well pneuRIP works compared to an existing system called Respitrace. They will measure your breathing rate. The study is looking for 10 healthy volunteers and 10 people with neuromuscular diseases (conditions affecting muscles and nerves) who have mild breathing difficulties. You must be between 11 and 17 years old and able to follow instructions. The study status is currently unclear.

Study design

This interventional study plans to enroll 20 participants, including healthy volunteers and those with neuromuscular diseases. Participants will have their breathing measured using both the pneuRIP and Respitrace systems.

What's involved

You will wear bands around your abdomen and chest, and your breathing will be measured wirelessly with an iPad. You will be asked to lie down and breathe normally, and then breathe with a resistance element in your mouth for 3 minutes each.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Breathing rate will be measured immediately after the test.
