Objectives The diaphragm changes position and respiratory excursions during postural
loading. However, it is unclear how it reacts to lifting a load while breath-holding or …

Background Assessment of diaphragm contraction may be useful for identifying impairments
in patients with movement dysfunction involving trunk stabilization, respiration, or both. Real …

Background: Assessing diaphragm mobility is important to detect malfunctions or impending
exhaustion and to evaluate the effects of many chest and abdominal conditions on …

Recent ultrasound imaging evidence asserts that the diaphragm is an important
multifunctional muscle to control breathing as well as stabilize the core and posture in …

Study Design Clinical measurement, cross-sectional. Objectives To establish a set of normal
values for diaphragm thickening with tidal breathing in healthy subjects. Background Normal …

Objective: To assess diaphragmatic motion during forced breathing in a health screening
center cohort by time-resolved quantitative analysis using dynamic chest radiography and …

Background and objective: Reliable measurement of diaphragm and peripheral muscle
thickness, using diagnostic ultrasound, has only been validated in the erect posture …

Purpose:(1) Determine whether ultrasonography can detect differences in diaphragm
contractility between body positions.(2) Perform reliability analysis of diaphragm thickness …

Objective. To evaluate the quantitative measurement of diaphragmatic motion in healthy
subjects and to investigate the effects of different variables such as body mass index and …

Study Design A case-control study. Objectives To examine the function of the diaphragm
during postural limb activities in patients with chronic low back pain and healthy controls …
