Diaphragm Ultrasound in Neuromuscular Disorders

August 2, 2019 updated by: Abdallah FAYSSOIL, Centre d'Investigation Clinique et Technologique 805

Muscular dystrophies are neurologic disease with higher morbidity and mortality. Cardiac function and respiratory muscles can be affected, in addition with skeletal muscle deficiency . Lung function is classically assessed with functionnal pulmonary tests (FPT) . Ultrasound recently emerged as a non-invasive tool to assess diaphragm function.

The aims of the study are:

  • to provide the spectrum of diaphragm ultrasound in patients with muscular dystrophies
  • to assess the correlation between diaphragm ultrasound and FPT
  • to assess the correlation between diaphragm ultrasound and cardiac function
