Background: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type 1 is a severe condition leading to early respiratory failure. Treatment options have become available, yet respiratory outcome measures in SMA type 1 are limited. The aim of this study was to assess the respiratory pattern in SMA type 1 patients via structured light plethysmography (SLP).

Respiratory motion tracking techniques can provide optimal treatment accuracy for thoracoabdominal radiotherapy and robotic surgery. However, conventional imaging-based respiratory motion tracking techniques are time-lagged owing to the system latency of medical linear accelerators and surgical robots. This study aims to investigate the precursor time of respiratory-related neural signals and analyze the potential of neural signals-based respiratory motion tracking.

The identification of respiratory patterns based on the movement of the chest wall can assist in monitoring an individual's health status, particularly those with neuromuscular disorders, such as hemiplegia and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Thoraco-abdominal asynchrony (TAA) refers to the lack of coordination between the rib cage and abdominal movements, characterized by a time delay in their expansion. Motion capture systems, like optoelectronic plethysmography (OEP), are commonly employed to assess these asynchronous movements.

Background: Although Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) affects the connective tissue, pulmonary function might be compromised because of thoracic deformities. OI is known to be a restrictive lung disease, but spirometry provides global measurement without localizing the site of the restriction. Opto-electronic plethysmography (OEP), is a non-invasive method able to underline altered respiratory function as well as ventilatory thoraco-abdominal paradoxes during spontaneous breathing.
