Hypoventilation during passive leg movement in spinal cord-injured humans.
We examined ventilatory response during passive walking-like exercise in the standing posture in complete spinal cord-injured humans and found that ventilatory equivalent for O(2) uptake, which would be related to the sensation of breathlessness, was lower during passive exercise than during quiet standing.
