Abstract
There have been a number of studies on the effects of chest wall afferents on the control of breathing. However, the effect of these afferents on respiratory sensation has been less extensively studied. The length-tension inappropriateness in the intercostal fusimotor loops (Campbell and Howell, 1963) is the most accepted possible mechanism of the sensation of breathlessness.
