Diaphragm excursion and thickness in patients with chronic low back pain with and without lumbar instability

Scientific Reports
Diaphragm is crucial for respiration and plays a significant role in trunk stabilization, particularly during postural tasks. Several studies have focused primarily on trunk muscles in lumbar instability (LI) patients.
