We present a postural analysis of diaphragm function using magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI). The main aim of the study was to identify changes in diaphragm motion and shape …

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 …

Purpose To determine the postural difference of diaphragmatic motion between the sitting
and supine positions. Materials and Methods A total of 10 healthy men were examined using …

The aim was to describe diaphragmatic behavior during postural limb activities and examine
the ventilatory and stabilizing functions of the diaphragm. Thirty healthy subjects were …

The objectives of this study were to assess the relationship between right and left
hemidiaphragmatic motions during breathing in normal subjects and to investigate …

The diaphragm plays an important role in spinal control. Increased respiratory demand
compromises spinal control, especially in individuals with low back pain (LBP). The …

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 …

The reliability of a handheld myotonometer when used in a clinical setting to assess
paraspinal muscle mechanical properties is unclear. This study aimed to investigate the …

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 …

The diaphragm is the primary muscle of ventilation. Diaphragmatic dysfunction can be
partial or complete, unilateral or bilateral. The diagnosis is difficult to establish at certain …
