Spirometry in the Supine Position Improves the Detection of Diaphragmatic Weakness in Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

To determine which respiratory function tests best predicted diaphragmatic strength in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Patients referred for pulmonary evaluation were included (n = 25) if they underwent measurement of transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) and one or more of the following on...
