Fifteen quadriplegic patients underwent multiple pulmonary function studies performed in 2 positions, sitting and supine, and in both positions under 2 circumstances, wearing and not wearing a corset. Analysis of variance showed that 3 volumes were significantly improved (p less than 0.05) supine, especially without the corset: vital capacity (C), inspiratory capacity (IC) and tidal volume (Vt). Although most pulmonary function tests were improved when the patients were supine the trends when sitting were for improvement when wearing a corset. Most of these patients were studied at least 1 year postinjury and results are not substantially different from those 6 months postinjury. Corsets do not have an untoward effect on pulmonary function tests.
15名四肢瘫痪患者在坐姿和仰卧位两种体位下，以及在穿着和不穿着紧身胸衣的两种情况下进行了多项肺功能研究。方差分析表明，有3项容积指标在仰卧位时显著改善（p<0.05），尤其是不穿紧身胸衣时：肺活量（C）、吸气量（IC）和潮气量（Vt）。虽然大多数肺功能测试在患者仰卧时有所改善，但坐姿时的趋势是穿着紧身胸衣时有所改善。这些患者大多在受伤后至少1年接受研究，结果与受伤后6个月时的结果没有实质性差异。紧身胸衣对肺功能测试没有不良影响。
