Evaluation of diaphragm functions with diaphragm ultrasound and pulmonary function tests in individuals with Friedreich's ataxia. [PDF]
Turk J Med Sci, 2023 Background/aim It is known that the correlation of pulmonary function tests (PFT) with muscle dysfunction is insufficient. Here, we aimed to evaluate the diaphragm functions in individuals with Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA) and to examine its relationship ...
