“…A large proportion ( n = 43, 44.3%) of those with dysphagia were diagnosed with scoliosis and/or kyphosis. These conditions are also associated with gastro‐oesophageal reflux which may lead to oesophagitis (Groher 1997) and to reduced respiratory function (Mori et al. 2006) which may reduce alertness during mealtimes and may in turn compromise the swallow reflex and increase the risk of aspiration for people.…”

“…The thoraxes of the patients of the subject group generally have less motion than those of healthy individuals due to abnormal muscle tonus or deformity. Particularly for sufferers of idiopathic scoliosis, it is widely believed that the greater the angle of curvature, the less TV 17,18) , and it has been reported that the severer the deformity of scoliosis, the less motion of the thorax 19) . Considering all these factors, we think the relatively limited increase of TV by MBAT of about 10% in the subject group was partly due to the decrease of the expiratory reserve volume.…”

“…The consequences of spinal or limb abnormalities in people with ID are complicated. Mori et al (2005) examined the correlation between spinal characteristics and respiratory function in patients with severe physical disabilities and ID. These observations suggest that the spinal abnormalities affect respiratory patterns in a restrictive manner and increase the respiratory change rate during tidal breathing.…”
