An interpolation surface method (ISM) has been recently developed to enhance OEP kinematic analysis. The aim of this study was to test whether ISM is as accurate as the conventional method (CM) for volume measurement when compared with conventional spirometry. Methods: Pneumotachographs and OEP were recorded simultaneously on a healthy subject who performed quiet and deep breathing. Results: In total, 124 tidal volumes (TV) and 50 vital capacities (VC) were obtained. ISM introduced a lower bias for both TV and VC, with narrower limits of agreement for CM in both conditions. Mean discrepancies were systematically &lt;2.15%. Correlation coefficients were in the interval [0.978; 0.991], with an ICC in the interval [0.968; 0.991] for both TV and VC. Conclusions: ISM and CM have similar volume measurement accuracies. ISM preserves the accuracy of OEP volume measurements and its software environment. Although ISM represents a promising approach for breathing motion analysis, its contribution to improving kinematic analysis remains to be evaluated across a broader range of morphologies and breathing patterns.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s26185709","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,9]],"date-time":"2026-09-09T08:05:43Z","timestamp":1788941143000},"page":"5709","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Accuracy of the Interpolated Surface Mesh Method for OEP Volume Measurement"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Laurent","family":"Gaillard","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"PSMS, UR 7507, Universit\u00e9 de Reims Champagne-Ardenne, 51097 Reims, France"},{"name":"ESO-Paris Recherche, Ecole Sup\u00e9rieure d\u2019Ost\u00e9opathie-Paris, 77420 Champs-sur-Marne, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"conceptualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-original-draft","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-review-editing","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"software","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"formal-analysis","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"data-curation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"visualization","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9136-5002","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laurent","family":"Stubbe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ESO-Paris Recherche, Ecole Sup\u00e9rieure d\u2019Ost\u00e9opathie-Paris, 77420 Champs-sur-Marne, France"},{"name":"CIAMS, Universit\u00e9 Paris-Saclay, 91405 Orsay, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"conceptualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"validation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"investigation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"resources","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-review-editing","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"supervision","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5523-3790","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Damien","family":"Riquet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PSMS, UR 7507, Universit\u00e9 de Reims Champagne-Ardenne, 51097 Reims, France"},{"name":"ESO-Paris Recherche, Ecole Sup\u00e9rieure d\u2019Ost\u00e9opathie-Paris, 77420 Champs-sur-Marne, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"investigation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-review-editing","vocabulary":"credit"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6029-6569","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicolas","family":"Houel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"PSMS, UR 7507, Universit\u00e9 de Reims Champagne-Ardenne, 51097 Reims, France"},{"name":"URCATech-MoCAP, USAR4476, Universit\u00e9 de Reims Champagne-Ardenne, 51097 Reims, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"},{"role":"conceptualization","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"methodology","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"validation","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"resources","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"writing-review-editing","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"project-administration","vocabulary":"credit"},{"role":"supervision","vocabulary":"credit"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"339","DOI":"10.1159\/000462916","article-title":"Optoelectronic Plethysmography in Clinical Practice and Research: A Review","volume":"93","author":"Massaroni","year":"2017","journal-title":"Respiration"},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"12","article-title":"Opto-electronic plethysmography","volume":"59","author":"Aliverti","year":"2003","journal-title":"Monaldi Arch.
