“…There are two reasons for that as follows: 1. To perform the breathing movement from the maximal end of inspiration to the maximal end of expiration in standing posture, the abdominal muscles press the abdominal content upwards to decrease the lung volume, the internal intercostals lower and decrease the rib cage 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ) . During the maximal expiration in this test, the vital capacity was collected by the spirometer without any interferences, but the mobility variation of the rib cage was measured by the WSS, which would be increased due to the shoulders adduction.…”

[Purpose] The purpose of this study is to find the best body spots on the chest and abdomen wall to obtain the correlated indicators to the vital capacity. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty healthy male staff of the center served as the participants were advised to conduct a breathing movement using spirometer and a wearable strain sensor (WSS) respectively, which was the measured at four spots on chest and abdomen wall from maximal end of inspiration to maximal end of expiration. The Pearson’s correlation analysis was conducted to find the correlation of the data obtained respectively by the WSS and spirometer. [Results] The correlation of the mobility data at the four body spots to the vital capacity data were calculated for each level by means of Pearson’s correlation coefficient, which showed that the values at each body spot were positive significant correlations and the highest value was at the 10th rib. [Conclusion] There was a correlation between the mobility data of the chest and abdomen obtained by the WSS and the vital capacity data obtained by the spirometer, for which, the 10th rib is the best body spot to detect the positive significant correlation.
