Journal Article
Evaluation of a Novel Hands-Free Cheek Holder for Oscillometry Measurements
Objective: Accurate oscillometry requires minimizing artifacts, particularly those from cheek vibrations, which introduce a parallel (shunt) impedance pathway that distorts measurements. Standard practice includes using a nose clip and manually supporting the cheeks to reduce this effect by…
