Computed tomography measurement of rib cage morphometry in emphysema. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: Factors determining the shape of the human rib cage are not completely understood. We aimed to quantify the contribution of anthropometric and COPD-related changes to rib cage variability in adult cigarette smokers.

Biomechanical response of human rib cage to cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers: Effects of the compression location. [PDF]

Int J Numer Method Biomed Eng, 2022
The biomechanical response of a human rib cage to cardiopulmonary resuscitation maneuvers was investigated by means of finite element simulations. We analyzed the effect of the location where the force was applied on the achieved compression depths and ...

Morphological patterns of the rib cage and lung in the healthy and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. [PDF]

J Anat, 2022
The morphology of the rib cage affects both the biomechanics of the upper body's musculoskeletal structure and the respiratory mechanics. This becomes particularly important when evaluating skeletal deformities, as in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS)

The influence of the rib cage on the static and dynamic stability responses of the scoliotic spine. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2020
The thoracic cage plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the thoracolumbar spine. In this study, the influence of a rib cage on static and dynamic responses in normal and scoliotic spines was investigated. Four spinal finite element (FE)

Influence of Rib Cage on Static Characteristics of Scoliotic Spine [PDF]

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2020
Background. Scoliosis is a three-dimensional (3D) deformity of the spine, which affects the patient’s appearance and may lead to abnormal heart and lung function.

Holistic shape variation of the rib cage in an adult population [PDF]

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Traumatic injuries to the thorax are a common occurrence, and given the disparity in outcomes, injury risk is non-uniformly distributed within the population.

Effects of Inspiratory Muscles Training Plus Rib Cage Mobilization on Chest Expansion, Inspiratory Accessory Muscles Activity and Pulmonary Function in Stroke Patients

Applied Sciences, 2020
After stroke, limited ribcage movement may lead to impaired respiratory function. Combining threshold inspiratory muscle training with rib cage joint mobilization has been shown to enhance the recovery of respiratory function in patients with stroke. The

Anterior Aesthetic Rib Cage Remodeling With Osteosynthesis [PDF]

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open
Background:. Body contouring is an increasingly common trend in aesthetic plastic surgery. In the pursuit of ideal body proportions, anterior thoracic cage deformities, especially lower rib cartilage prominence have emerged as a frequent source of ...
