Objective: To analyze the correlation between lung volumes and inspiratory muscle activity of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) in COPD patients. Methods:Cross-sectional study that evaluated COPD patients (GOLD II to IV) regarding their anthropometric characteristics, lung volumes and electromyographic activity of the SCM muscle in eupnea. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expired volume in one second (FEV1), forced expired flow between 25 and 75% of FVC (FEF25-75%) and FEV1/FVC%pred ratio were evaluated by digital spirometry. The electromyographic activity was evaluated by means of a surface electromyograph with values obtained in percentage of root mean square (%RMS). Results: Sample (n= 17) (male: n= 10) with mean age of 63.5 ± 7.8 years and body mass index of 24.8±5.2 kg/m2. An inverse and moderate correlation was found between SCM electromyographic activation and the predicted FEV1/FVC ratio (r= - 0.515; p= 0.035). Final Considerations: There was an inverse and significant association between the obstructive pattern, represented by the FEV1/FVC%pred ratio and the SCM electromyographic activation, showing greater activation of this accessory musculature.
