Abstract
Although the natural shape of the lungs and thoracic cavity are different, they conform to each other at any time. Therefore, the pattern of chest wall motion should reflect lung expansion. Alterations in lung ventilation may be detected by changes in chest wall motion. It was suggested that the diaphragm, as a major part of the chest wall, could be an important determinant of lung volume and intrapulmonary distribution of ventilation.
