Abstract
Background: Breathing pattern is one parameter that is currently proposed to be affected even in healthy subjects. However, most of the assessment techniques available for assessing breathing pattern have not been systematically evaluated. In this context, Total Faulty Breathing Scale (TFBS) is one of the assessment tools which can be used simply to assess breathing pattern. However, clinical applicability has not yet been established. The objective of this study was to investigate breathing pattern using TFBS on visual observation and video recording methods. Method: This was a cross-sectional study which was carried out on 24 healthy male subjects. The assessment of scoring system was carried out by an experienced physiotherapist using TFBS for both visual and videogrammetry methods. Results: The results of the study showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the score between visual and videogrammetry methods (p > 0.05). This signifies that TFBS of scoring can be used to assess the breathing pattern. Conclusions: Both visual and video recording methods can be used interchangeably for assessing breathing pattern using TFBS. This breathing scale is a potential tool for assessment of faulty breathing patterns in clinical practice.
