SUMMARY: The main purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between the aerobic and anaerobic performance of diaphragm thickness in athletes. That study was conducted with 15 team athletes (TA) (age 21.80 ± 2.40 years), 15 individual athletes (IA) (age 18.93 ± 2.31 years) and the control gro...
La respiración es un proceso continuo donde los músculos respiratorios tienen un rol central e imprescindible para la vida. Su óptimo funcionamiento involucra diversas estructuras que deben funcionar de forma armónica y coordinada, para que el gasto energético asociado a sus demandas ...
RESUMEN La unión del tubo esofágico con el estómago en lo que denominamos el cardias, su tránsito y relacio nes con el hiato diafragmático, las estructuras fibromembranosas que la fijan y envuelven, la existencia de un esfínter gastroesofágico anatómico y su real morfología, así como la interac...
A mobilidade diafragmática é essencial para a ventilação pulmonar. Pela ultrassonografia sua mensuração é direta, porém o processamento das medidas encontra-se em divergência na literatura. Indica-se pelo valor médio das três incursões respiratórias máximas ou o maior valor dentre elas rest...
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the impact of lipoabdominoplasty on diaphragmatic mobility (DM) and lung function in healthy women. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study using high-resolution ultrasound and forced spirometry to assess DM and lung function, respectively, prior to lipoabdominoplas...

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the concurrent validity, as well as the intra- and inter-rater reliability, of assessing diaphragmatic mobility by area (DMarea) on chest X-rays of healthy adults. Methods: We evaluated anthropometric parameters, pulmonary function, and diaphragmatic mobility in 43 pa...
RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a viabilidade do uso de índices derivados do sinal de eletromiografia de superfície para predizer desfechos do processo de desmame em pacientes mecanicamente ventilados após cirurgia cardíaca. Métodos: Foram incluídos dez pacientes em pós-operatório de cirurgia cardio...
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Enhanced respiratory muscle strength in patients with heart failure positively alters the clinical trajectory of heart failure. In an experimental model, respiratory muscle training in rats with heart failure has been shown to improve cardiopulmonary function through mechanisms y...

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. ...
OBJECTIVE: To assess the influence of diaphragmatic activation control (diaphC) on Sniff Nasal-Inspiratory Pressure (SNIP) and Maximum Relaxation Rate of inspiratory muscles (MRR) in healthy subjects. METHOD: Twenty subjects (9 male; age: 23 (SD=2.9) years; BMI: 23.8 (SD=3) kg/m2; FEV1/FVC: 0.9 (SD=0.1)...
