| Core Tip |
In addition to motor impairments, Parkinson’s disease is also associated with respiratory dysfunction. This study investigated the relationship between diaphragm thickness measured by ultrasound and pulmonary function test (PFT) parameters. The results demonstrated significant correlations, particularly in advanced-stage patients, between diaphragm thickness and PFT values. Ultrasound-based diaphragm assessment may serve as a promising non-invasive alternative for monitoring respiratory function in Parkinson’s patients who are unable to perform PFTs. |
