In this article, we aimed at investigating the interaction between breathing and swallowing patterns in normal subjects. Ten healthy volunteers were included in the study. Diaphragm EMG activity was recorded by a needle electrode inserted into the 7th or 8th intercostal space. Swallowing was monitored by submental EMG activity, and laryngeal vertical movement was recorded by using a movement sensor. A single voluntary swallow was initiated during either the inspiration or expiration phases of respiration, and changes in EMG activity were evaluated. When a swallow coincided with either inspiration or expiration, the duration of the respiratory phase was prolonged. Normal subjects were able to voluntarily swallow during inspiration. During the inspiration phase with swallowing, diaphragmatic activity did not ceased and during the expiration phase with swallowing, there was a muscle activity in the diaphragm muscle.
