“…EMG activity of EIC, SCM and LAT muscles recorded in the present study did no show a consistent significant difference among breathing types studied. This is in agreement with the finding observed in previous works between participants with upper costal and costo-diaphragmatic breathing in the standing and right decubitus positions [17][18][19][20][21].…”

“…Impedance was decreased by careful skin abrasion with alcohol. Electrodes were placed as follows [17][18][19][20][21]26]: on the DIA muscle, 1 cm below the xiphoid process; on the EIC muscle, between the 6th and 7th ribs on the imaginary vertical line that passes through the nipple; on the SCM muscle (middle portion), in the anterior border; and on the LAT muscle, in the projection of the 12th rib or lumbar vertebra L1 following the thoraco-lumbar fascia edge. The electrodes were located on the right side (except in the DIA muscle), because each participant was arbitrarily asked to lie on his left side.…”

“…Breathing type has been defined depending on the expansion of the abdomino-thoracic region during inspiration at rest, and three types have been described [15,16]: 1) costo-diaphragmatic breathing; 2) upper costal breathing; 3) mixed breathing. diaphragmatic breathing type was compared in the standing position [17][18][19] and in the right lateral decubitus position [19,20]. Higher EMG activity of DIA muscle was observed in subjects with upper costal than costo-diaphragmatic breathing type in both body positions.…”

This study aimed to compare the electromyographic (EMG) activity among participants with costo-diaphragmatic, mixed or upper costal breathing type. Forty male were classified according to their breathing type into three groups: costo-diaphragmatic, upper costal and mixed breathing type. EMG activity of diaphragm (DIA), external intercostal (EIC), sternocleidomastoid (SCM) and latissimus dorsi (LAT) muscles was recorded in the dorsal, left lateral and ventral decubitus positions, during the following tasks: 1) quiet breathing, 2) speaking, 3) swallowing, and 4) sustained maximal inspiration. DIA activity was higher in upper costal than in costo-diaphragmatic breathing in all tasks and body positions; was higher in mixed than in costo-diaphragmatic breathing in all tasks in the dorsal and ventral decubitus positions and only in task 4 in the left lateral decubitus position; was similar between upper costal and mixed breathing in all tasks and body positions. EIC activity was significantly higher in mixed than costodiaphragmatic breathing in all tasks in the dorsal decubitus position and only in task 4 in the left lateral decubitus position. SCM activity did not show significant differences. LAT activity was only higher in upper costal than costodiaphragmatic breathing in task 4 in the dorsal decubitus position, in tasks 1, 2 and 4 in the left lateral decubitus position, and in tasks 2, 3 and 4 in the ventral decubitus position. EMG activity of the DIA was the only muscle that allows to differentiate between upper costal or mixed breathing than costo-diaphragmatic in all tasks in the dorsal and ventral decubitus positions.

“…Gutierrez et al 40 showed a significantly higher muscle activation in the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles by comparing individuals with upper thoracic breathing and costo-diaphragmatic patterns during tasks such as tidal and deep breathing, speech, swallowing and clenching. The research team demonstrated the participation of respiratory muscles during other stomatognathic functions noting that the upper thoracic breathing pattern can be a decisive factor in the capacity of differentiated muscle adaptation.…”

The mouth breathing syndrome is characterized by a set of signs and symptoms, which may be present in subjects who replace an adequate and efficient nasal breathing mode by the mouth or mist breathing mode, for a period equal or superior of six months. The mouth or mist breathing mode may be associated to changes in the ventilatory function and mechanics. This review has the objective of investigating more deeply the consequences of the mouth breathing in the lung function and respiratory muscles, emphasizing the development of such changes since childhood to adult age. Eighteen articles were selected through data basis PubMed and Web of Science and they were grouped in the text, comprehending the follow topics:1) Implications of mouth breathing on the lung function and 2)Implications of mouth breathing on the respiratory muscles. From the information derivate of the analyzed articles, it may realized that few studies reject or did not find some relation between pulmonary changes and mouth breathing. It was suggested that the muscular unbalance produced by these changes may contribute for the mechanic disadvantage of the diaphragm muscle and increase of accessory inspiratory muscles work. Nevertheless, studies with more selective method, including objective and reproducible evaluation of the respiratory muscles are still need. Keywords: Mouth Breathing; Respiratory System; Pulmonary Ventilation; Respiratory Muscles RESUMO A Síndrome do Respirador Oral é caracterizada por um conjunto de sinais e sintomas que podem estar presentes em indivíduos que substituem o modo adequado e eficiente da respiração nasal pelo modo respiratório oral ou misto, por um período igual ou superior a seis meses. O modo respiratório oral ou misto pode estar associado a mudanças na função e mecânica ventilatória. Esta revisão tem como objetivo investigar mais profundamente as consequências da respiração oral na função pulmonar e músculos respiratórios, ressaltando o desenvolvimento de tais alterações desde a infância até a idade adulta. Foram selecionados 18 artigos por meio das bases de dados Pubmed e Web of Science e foram agrupados no texto, compreendendo os seguintes tópicos: 1) Implicações da respiração oral sobre a função pulmonar e 2) Implicações da respiração oral sobre os músculos respiratórios. A partir das informações oriundas dos resultados dos artigos analisados, percebe-se que poucos estudos refutam ou não encontram alguma relação entre as alterações pulmonares e a respiração oral. Sugere-se que, o desequilíbrio muscular produzido por estas alterações pode contribuir para a desvantagem mecânica do músculo diafragma e aumento do trabalho dos músculos acessórios da inspiração. Entretanto, são necessários estudos com métodos mais criteriosos, incluindo avaliações objetivas e reprodutíveis dos músculos respiratórios.

This review is a comprehensive description of all muscles that assist lung inflation or deflation in any way. The developmental origin, anatomical orientation, mechanical action, innervation, and pattern of activation are described for each respiratory muscle fulfilling this broad definition. In addition, the circumstances in which each muscle is called upon to assist ventilation are discussed. The number of “respiratory” muscles is large, and the coordination of respiratory muscles with “nonrespiratory” muscles and in nonrespiratory activities is complex—commensurate with the diversity of activities that humans pursue, including sleep (8.27). The capacity for speech and adoption of the bipedal posture in human evolution has resulted in patterns of respiratory muscle activation that differ significantly from most other animals. A disproportionate number of respiratory muscles affect the nose, mouth, pharynx, and larynx, reflecting the vital importance of coordinated muscle activity to control upper airway patency during both wakefulness and sleep. The upright posture has freed the hands from locomotor functions, but the evolutionary history and ontogeny of forelimb muscles pervades the patterns of activation and the forces generated by these muscles during breathing. The distinction between respiratory and nonrespiratory muscles is artificial, as many “nonrespiratory” muscles can augment breathing under conditions of high ventilator demand. Understanding the ontogeny, innervation, activation patterns, and functions of respiratory muscles is clinically useful, particularly in sleep medicine. Detailed explorations of how the nervous system controls the multiple muscles required for successful completion of respiratory behaviors will continue to be a fruitful area of investigation. © 2019 American Physiological Society.
