<p>A positive biofeedback training system which visually displays desired respiratory parameters along with performance. Suitable respiratory airflow transducer means is used to generate and compare flow signals in real time to the physician-, technician-, or teacher - prescribed desirable performance parameters, thus providing incentives to improve patient or student performance for respiratory maneuvers under varying circumstances. The system includes estimation means to quantitate deficiencies of volumetric, flow, pressure, or timing requirements to the ideal breathing patterns. The system includes methods and a flow signal is integrated to appropriate volume signal with relation to a time base. The system provides for detecting initiation of inspiration and resetting of ideal volumetric respiration pattern; comparing real time flow and volumetric signal with ideal flow and volumetric prescribed patterns, and visually displaying both ideal and real time performance on a suitable display.</p> |
