Bipolar fine wire electrodes were used to make electromyographic (EMG) recordings of the abdominal muscles of 8 stable complete tetraplegic patients. Synchronous recordings were made of ventilation, and in 5 subjects an oesophageal electrode was used to record diaphragm EMG. In all 8 subjects we demonstrated phasic inspiratory EMG activity which we have shown to be localised to the abdominal muscles. We believe that this activity was triggered by stretching of the abdominal wall on inspiration. Its effect will be to decrease abdominal wall compliance allowing the diaphragm to generate greater intra-abdominal pressure as it descends, thus promoting inflation of the lower rib cage.
使用双极细钢丝电极对8例稳定的完全性四肢瘫痪患者的腹部肌肉进行肌电图（EMG）记录。同时记录通气情况，5名受试者使用食管电极记录膈肌肌电图。在所有8名受试者中，我们都证实了吸气期肌电活动，且已证明该活动定位于腹部肌肉。我们认为这种活动是由吸气时腹壁伸展触发的。其作用是降低腹壁顺应性，使膈肌下降时能产生更大的腹内压，从而促进下胸廓的扩张。
