They were examined with spirometry, manual auscultation of the thorax and where necessary, with chest X-ray or CT scan. They wore the WELMO sensors vest for a period of 15-20 minutes during which they performed tidal and deep breathing, cough and spirometry maneuvers and changes of posture. At the end of the study, they were requested to fill in a questionnaire about comfort and usability of the vest.
