Research Abstract

In privious report,we investigated the relationships between spinal deformities and respiratory pattern observed during tidal breathing at rest in patients with severe motor and intellectual dysfunction syndrome (SMIDS)
The purpose of this study is to examine the correlation between spinal deformity, expressed by Cobb angles (CA) and vertebrae rotation grade (VRG), and respiratory resitance observed during tidal breathing at static supine posture in 26 patients with SMIDS. Respiratory resistance (Rrs) was correlated with Cobb angle. Moreover, Reactance(Xrs) was also correlated Cobb angle. These results suggest that the spinal deformity affect respiratory resitance(Rrs) and reactance(Xrs) during tidal breathing in patients with SIMDS.
