“…We also explored breathing as part of relaxation and to address anxiety during physical activity: using breathing sensors for signaling shallow or mainly thoracic breathing (rather than diaphragmatic) or holding breath, which can potentially affect ease of movement due to anxiety (Perri & Halford, 2004). Breathing well may also make certain movements easier.…”

Chronic (persistent) pain (CP) affects 1 in 10 adults; clinical resources are insufficient, and anxiety about activity restricts lives. Technological aids monitor activity but lack necessary psychological support. This article proposes a new sonification framework, Go-with-the-Flow, informed by physiotherapists and people with CP. The framework proposes articulation of user-defined sonified exercise spaces (SESs) tailored to psychological needs and physical capabilities that enhance body and movement awareness to rebuild confidence in physical activity. A smartphone-based wearable device and a Kinect-based device were designed based on the framework to track movement and breathing and sonify them during physical activity. In control studies conducted to evaluate the sonification strategies, people with CP reported increased performance, motivation, awareness of movement, and relaxation with sound feedback. Home studies, a focus group, and a survey of CP patients conducted at the end of a hospital pain management session provided an in-depth understanding of how different aspects of the SESs and their calibration can facilitate self-directed rehabilitation and how the wearable version of the device can facilitate transfer of gains from exercise to feared or demanding activities in real life. We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings on the design of technology for physical rehabilitation

“…A number of studies have determined prevalence of DB on the basis of symptom questionnaires alone (Thomas, McKinley et al, 2001;Humphriss, Baguley et al, 2004;Thomas, McKinley et al, 2005) or have emphasized the measurement of carbon dioxide levels (McLaughlin, 2009) or breathing pattern (Perri and Halford, 2004). If measurement in one dimension of breathing functionality proves not to be highly correlated with measurement in other dimension, this may result in incorrect assumptions about prevalence.…”

DB cannot be simply defined. For practical purposes DB is probably best characterised as a multi-dimensional construct with at least 3 dimensions, biochemical, biomechanical and breathing related symptoms. Comprehensive evaluation of breathing dysfunction should include measures of breathing symptoms, breathing pattern, resting CO(2) and also include functional measures such a breath holding time and response of breathing to physical and psychological challenges including stress testing with CO(2) monitoring.

“…In neck pain, it is known that there is frequent evidence of over-activation of some of the inspiratory muscles, such as the scalenes, sternocleidomastoid and upper fibres of trapezius (Falla, 2004;Nederhand et al, 2000). While a formal link between neck pain and poor breathing has not yet been established, it has been observed that patients with neck pain do commonly have faulty breathing mechanics (Perri and Halford, 2004).…”
