Rib cage contributions to inspiratory capacity in patients with cervical spinal cord injury [PDF]
Current Research in PhysiologyBackground: Cervical spinal cord injury (CSI) often leads to impaired respiratory function, affecting the overall well-being of patients. This study aimed to investigate the influence of rib cage motion on inspiratory capacity in CSI patients.

Sternum Length and Rib Cage Dimensions Compared with Bodily Proportions in Adults with Cystic Fibrosis [PDF]
Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2012 BACKGROUND: A greater structural expansion of the rib cage in females compared with males has been described in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients; however, conflicting data exist as to whether an elongation of the bony ribs and sternum contributes to this ...

Changes in ventilation mechanics during expiratory rib cage compression in healthy males. [PDF]
J Phys Ther Sci, 2018 [Purpose] The purpose of this study was to clarify the differences in ventilation mechanics between quiet breathing and expiratory rib cage compression, and between expiratory rib cage compression on the upper rib cage and on the lower rib cage ...

The ‘abdominal circulatory pump’: an auxiliary heart during exercise? [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2016 Apart from its role as a flow generator for ventilation the diaphragm has a circulatory role. The cyclical abdominal pressure variations from its contractions cause swings in venous return from the splanchnic venous circulation.

Optoelectronic Plethysmography for Measuring Rib Cage Distortion
, 2011 The pressure acting on the part of the Rib Cage that is apposed to the costal surface of the lung is quite different from that acting on the part apposed to the diaphragm. The non uniformity of pressure distribution led Agostoni and D’Angelo (1985) to suggest that the rib cage could be usefully regarded as consisting of two compartments mechanically ...
