Respiratory Muscle Strength Test (MIP/MEP)
Respiratory Muscle Strength Test (MIP/MEP) measures the muscle strength of the lungs.
The maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) measures the strength of your muscles that are you use during the inspiration of air during normal and forced breathing in. The maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) measures the strength of the muscles that are used during normal and forced breathing out.
This test requires you to blow in as hard as you can and to breathe out as hard as you can. The pressure you make when you breathe like this tells us the strength of your chest muscles. This test is repeated a few times and can be tiring.
