(Pre-treatment) Comparison of diaphragm excursion and diaphragm thickening fraction among breathing types. (a) Changes of diaphragm excursion at quiet breathing. (b) Changes of diaphragm excursion at abdominal deep breathing. (c) Changes of diaphragm thickness (a: changes of diaphragm thickness at quiet breathing; b: changes of diaphragm thickness at abdominal deep breathing). DEP can significantly increase DE and DTF compared with quiet breathing. DEP, deep diaphragmatic breathing training; DE, diaphragmatic excursion; DTF, diaphragm thickening fraction
