Association between diaphragm excursion and whole-body muscle mass in older adults: an observational study

Association between diaphragm excursion and whole-body muscle mass in older adults: an observational study

Abstract Symptoms of diaphragm dysfunction, such as exertional dyspnea and decreased exercise tolerance, share similarities with the symptoms of skeletal muscle mass reduction caused by conditions like sarcopenia. Given that the diaphragm is also a skeletal muscle, sarcopenia may be associated with...
