Rib Torque Does Not Assist Resting Tidal Expiration or Most Conversational Speech Expiration
Hixon, Thomas J.
Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, v49 n1 p213-214 Feb 2006
Purpose: This research note discusses a common misconception in speech science and speech-language pathology textbooks that rib torque (i.e., "rotational stress") assists resting tidal expiration and conversational speech production. Method: The nature of this misconception is considered. Conclusion: An alternate conceptualization is offered that is consistent with knowledge from respiratory biomechanics.
