Association between abdominal muscle stiffness, diaphragm thickness and peak expiratory flow in younger versus older adults

Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, 2023
The present study aimed to evaluate forced expiration based on transverse abdominis (TrA) stiffness by identifying the relationship between TrA stiffness and peak expiratory flow (PEF) in both younger and older adults.

Diaphragm thickness, thickness change, and excursion in subjects with and without nonspecific low back pain using B-mode and M-mode ultrasonography

Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, 2021
Background Previous studies have demonstrated that respiratory dysfunction has a potential association with low back pain (LBP). Despite the role of the diaphragm for respiration and spinal stability, knowledge of the function of both sides of the ...

The effect of respiratory muscle training on respiratory muscle strength, diaphragm thickness/mobility, and exercise capacity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and associated shrinking lung syndrome

Lupus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that can impact any organ in the body. The pathophysiology of shrinking lung syndrome (SLS), a rare pulmonary complication of SLE, remains unknown.

Ultrasonographic measurement indicated patients with chronic neck pain had reduced diaphragm thickness and mobility along with declined respiratory functions.

Musculoskeletal Science and Practice
BACKGROUND Chronic neck pain (CNP) is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition including notable impairments in respiratory function. The diaphragm, serving dual roles in respiration and spinal stability, is intricately linked to the cervical spine through ...

Ultrasonographic evaluation of the diaphragm thickness in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders, 2019
BACKGROUND Diaphragm weakness or dysfunction have been previously reported in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate diaphragm thickness and thickenning ratio (TR) using ultrasound in MS patients.
