DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-93761-4
Abstract: Diaphragm is crucial for respiration and plays a significant role in trunk stabilization, particularly during postural tasks. Several studies have focused primarily on trunk muscles in lumbar instability (LI) patients. However, the role of diaphragm… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/10538135251339346
Abstract: Objective Multiple sclerosis (MS) involves respiratory muscle weakness that can lead to critical complications. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is a therapeutic intervention that effectively strengthens the respiratory muscles. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness… read more here.

Reduced Diaphragm Excursion During Reflexive Citric Acid Cough Test in Subjects With Subacute Stroke
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Respiratory Care"
DOI: 10.4187/respcare.05488
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Diaphragm excursion is limited during respiratory maneuvers after a stroke. How the diaphragm is limited during reflexive coughs and affects the effectiveness of cough in stroke patients is unclear. This study aimed to measure… read more here.
