| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For early detection and treatment of the thoracic deformity (TD) in individuals with severe motor and intellectual disorders (SMID), we developed the measurement of TD using the computed tomography (CT) image.
In this study, we develop the non-invasive measurement of TD and the method of measuring the respiratory function in individuals with SMID. And we show the relationship between the measurement of TD and respiratory function.
As a results, we developed a method for measuring by using anthropometer and spreading caliper, it confirmed the reliability and validity. Although measuring the thickness of diaphragm may show the respiratory function in individuals with SMID, it was considered necessary a review of analytical methods. In this study, we could not show the relationship between the measurement of TD and respiratory function.
