Bucket-handle angle θ and pump-handle angle ω of ribs 2–9. The horizontal axis shows the rib number, and the vertical axis shows angles θ and ω. a Comparison of simulated and experimental [23] bucket-handle angle θ during inspiratory chest movement, b comparison of simulated and experimental [23] pump-handle angle ω during inspiratory chest movement, c simulated bucket-handle angle θ during expiratory chest movement, d simulated pump-handle angle ω during expiratory chest movement
