Comparisons between UPCF^* and Each Assisted PCF^† (n = 32)

Mean values ± SD (liters/min).

^*UPCF = unassisted peak cough flow; ^†PCF = peak cough flow; ^‡VPCF = volume assisted peak cough flow; ^§MPCF = manual assisted peak cough flow; ^∥CPCF = combined peak cough flow, ^¶p < 0.001, ^**Both the values of VPCF and MPCF, which were similar, were higher than that of UPCF but lower than that of CPCF.
