Assesses respiratory muscle function in congenital myopathies, suggesting alternative techniques may be needed.
The absence of differences in shear wave velocity between healthy participants and patients, and the low reliability estimates, indicate that SWE of the respiratory muscles is not suitable in routine clinical care or research. The complex mechanical properties of the respiratory muscles introduce challenges that may require alternative SWE techniques.
