Respiratory inductance plethysmography was used to record respiratory parameters. The results demonstrated significant differences in tidal volume and minute ventilation between the groups in the anterior-tipped seat condition. No significant differences in respiratory parameters could be attributed to seat base position within either the normal or cerebral palsied subjects. Implications are discussed in relation to the anterior seat base design, group data analysis methods and individual data profiles, and the impact of these results for future research and practice.
