Diseases of the Chest Wall and Respiratory Muscles
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The alteration of the lung volume, in the form of reduction of total lung capacity (TLC), is regarded to restrictive lung diseases; as a rule the diseases of the chest wall and muscles, neuromuscular apparatus stipulate it; also, there are parenchymal ailments that may adjust the respiratory function of the lungs. The former ones lead to the decrease of TLC and refer to extrapulmonary diseases, and vice versa, the latter ones cause elevated TLC, like in COPD and asthma.

This study is aimed to evaluate the effect of 4 weeks swimming training with chest wall restriction on aerobic power, cardio-respiratory functions and swimming performance of elite female swimmers. 24 elite female swimmers volunteered to participate in this study and were randomly divide into two groups: Control (swimming training without chest wall restriction) and experimental group (swi...
متن کاملComparison of Respiratory Muscle Electromyography between Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis and Healthy Subjects
Purpose: Scoliosis is one of the most common spinal deformities that affect chest wall mechanics. Scoliosis results in ventilator disorders and respiratory muscle weakness. However, the mechanism of these disorders is still unknown. The main objective of this study was to identify the intensity of respiratory muscles activity in patients with idiopathic scoliosis compare with healthy indi...
متن کاملPrimary Hydatid Disease of the Chest Wall Presenting as a Chest Wall Tumor
Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease that is endemic in Mediterranean areas, South America, North Africa, Australia, and Iran. Although the liver and lung are the most common involved organs, but the other organs in human body also can be involved by hydatid cyst. Chest wall involvement by hydatid cyst is a rare condition, which may be misdiagnosed as chest wall tumor in the endemic areas. Herei...
متن کاملChest wall kinematics and respiratory muscle action in ankylosing spondylitis patients.
No direct measurements of the pressures produced by the ribcage muscles, the diaphragm and the abdominal muscles during hyperventilation have been reported in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Based on recent evidence indicating that abdominal muscles are important contributors to stimulation of ventilation, it was hypothesised that, in ankylosing spondylitis patients with limited ribcage e...
متن کاملImmediate effects of thixotropy conditioning of inspiratory muscles on chest-wall volume in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
INTRODUCTION Thixotropy is a passive property of the skeletal muscle that depends on the muscle's immediate history of contraction and length change. Inspiratory-muscle thixotropy affects the end-expiratory position of the rib cage in normal subjects. OBJECTIVE To determine whether a reduction in end-expiratory chest-wall volume occurs after thixotropy conditioning of inspiratory muscles in p...
