 | | RESULTS: Comparing sitting to supine and prone positions, there was a statistically significant decline in the spirometry values (reported as percent of predicted normal ± standard error of the mean). |
 | | FVC was 102% ± 4% while sitting, 95% ± 4% while supine, and 94% ± 4% while prone. |
 | | MVV was 115% ± 4% while sitting, 102% ± 4% while supine, and 97% ± 3% prone. |
