Figure 4. Relative contributions of the diaphragm and ribcage muscles to changes in transdiaphragmatic twitch pressure.

Figure 4

Box and whisker plot showing the ratio of P oes,tw to P ga,tw in men and women at baseline and pressure‐threshold loading task failure. An increase in P oes,tw/P ga,tw following PTL indicates predominant diaphragmatic fatigue. No sex differences were observed in ΔP oes,tw/P ga,tw (P > 0.05).
