Non-invasive assessment of fatigue and recovery of inspiratory rib cage muscles during endurance test in healthy individuals [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Introduction Fatigue is defined as loss of capacity to develop muscle force and/or velocity that is reversible at rest. We assessed non-invasively the fatigue and recovery of inspiratory rib cage muscles during two respiratory endurance tests in healthy ...

Finite Element Method Analysis of Compression Fractures on Whole-Spine Models Including the Rib Cage. [PDF]
Comput Math Methods Med, 2019 Spinal compression fractures commonly occur at the thoracolumbar junction. We have previously constructed a 3-dimensional whole-spine model from medical images by using the finite element method (FEM) and then used this model to develop a compression ...

3D reconstruction of rib cage geometry from biplanar radiographs using a statistical parametric model approach [PDF]
Comput. methods Biomech. Biomed. Eng. Imaging Vis., 2016 Rib cage 3D reconstruction is an important prerequisite for thoracic spine modelling, particularly for studies of the deformed thorax in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Action of the diaphragm on the rib cage. [PDF]
Journal of Applied Physiology, 2016 When the diaphragm contracts, pleural pressure falls, exerting a caudal and inward force on the entire rib cage. However, the diaphragm also exerts forces in the cranial and outward direction on the lower ribs. One of these forces, the "insertional force,

Effects of manual hyperinflation with rib cage compression and endotracheal suctioning on arterial blood gas parameters in mechanically ventilated patients at a university hospital, Egypt [PDF]
The Egyptian Journal of Bronchology, 2021 Background Manual hyperinflation and expiratory rib cage compression are methods of chest physiotherapy. They are commonly applied but their value and their early utilization managing mechanically ventilated remain questionable.

Respiratory kinematics and the regulation of subglottic pressure for phonation of pitch jumps - a dynamic MRI study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 The respiratory system is a central part of voice production as it contributes to the generation of subglottic pressure, which has an impact on voice parameters including fundamental frequency and sound pressure level. Both parameters need to be adjusted

Rib cage deformities alter respiratory muscle action and chest wall function in patients with severe osteogenesis imperfecta. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND:Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inherited connective tissue disorder characterized by bone fragility, multiple fractures and significant chest wall deformities.

A model for studies of the deformable rib cage [PDF]
Journal of Biomechanics, 1992 An earlier model for the study of rib cage mechanics was modified so that rib deformity in scoliosis could be better represented. The rigid ribs of that model were replaced by five-segment deformable rits.

Diaphragm pacing failure secondary to deteriorated chest wall mechanics: When a good diaphragm does not suffice to take a good breath in [PDF]
Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2015 Diaphragm pacing allows certain quadriplegic patients to be weaned from mechanical ventilation. Pacing failure can result from device dysfunction, neurotransmission failure, or degraded lung mechanics (such as atelectasis).
