Measurements of maximal voluntary inspiratory (PI(max)) and expiratory (PE(max)) pressures are used in the management of respiratory muscle disease. There is little data on the appropriate reference range, success rates, or repeatability of PI(max) and PE(max) in children or on methodological factors affecting test outcomes.
