1. Effects of diaphragm stretching on posterior chain muscle kinematics and rib cage and abdominal excursion: a randomized controlled trial
ABSTRACT Background Few studies have explored the effects of stretching techniques on diaphragm and spine kinematics. Objective To determine whether the application of diaphragm stretching resulted in changes in posterior chain muscle kinematics and ribcage and abdominal excursion in healthy subjects. Method Eighty healthy adults were included in this ran

2. Efeito seletivo da hemiplegia sobre a funÃÃo pulmonar e mobilidade diafragmÃtica
The cerebrovascular diseases is the second-most cause of death in Brazil and Latin America and is a refection of an economic and social lifestyle in the modern world. The Hemiplegia, common complication of stroke, is accompanied by hypertonic tonus in the affect side compromises the motor control of the entire body. Therefore the respiratory muscles compromi

3. Abdominal wall movement in normals and patients with hemidiaphragmatic and bilateral diaphragmatic palsy
Higenbottam, T., Allen, D., Loh, L., and Clark, T. J. H. (1977).Thorax,32, 589-595. Abdominal wall movement in normals and patients with hemidiaphragmatic and bilateral diaphragmatic palsy. The abdomen and ribcage volume contribution to the tidal volume have been determined using magnetometers in three groups of subjects—normal males, patients with hemidia

4. Excursion-volume relation of the right hemidiaphragm measured by ultrasonography and respiratory airflow measurements.
BACKGROUND--Although real time ultrasonography has been used in the last decade to record diaphragmatic motion, the relation between diaphragmatic excursion and different inspired volumes (VT) has not been assessed by ultrasound. METHODS--Ten normal subjects were studied in the supine posture. Diaphragmatic excursion and VT were assessed simultaneously by M

7. Diaphragmatic movement in hemiplegic patients measured by ultrasonography.
BACKGROUND--It is known that automatic breathing is controlled by centres in the lower brain stem, whereas volitional breathing is controlled by the cerebral cortical centres. In hemiplegia, lesions above the brain stem result in paralysis of limb muscles. This study was performed to determine whether the diaphragm might also be affected in patients with hem

10. Postmortem evaluation of the use of diaphragmatic excursus in assessment of pulmonary emphysema in coal miners
In a series of 89 subjects (all coal miners or ex-coal miners) a high order of correlation has been found between diaphragmatic excursus measured within five years of death and the necropsy assessment of emphysema in the lungs. In the absence of other common factors that reduce the range of movement of the diaphragm, measurements of diaphragmatic excursus pr

11. Effort rupture of the diaphragm.
Effort rupture of the diaphragm is rare and accounts for only 1% of all diaphragmatic injuries. A 23 year old patient with bilateral rupture that followed sudden movement is described.

12. Ultrasonic evaluation of movement of the diaphragm after acute cerebral infarction.
Respiratory dysfunction is an important complication of acute stroke but its mechanisms are poorly understood. Previous indirect assessments suggest that paralysis of the diaphragm occurs contralateral to the cerebral lesion. Diaphragmatic excursion was studied with real time ultrasound during quiet and deep breathing in 50 patients within 72 hours of acute
