NCT05372250

Brief Summary

The EXDECHO study is the first randomized study evaluating the effect of four body positions on diaphragmatic excursion in obese patients by ultrasound. The investigators suppose that the course of the right diaphragmatic hemicupola would be increased by an increasingly horizontal position (gradual increase in the diaphragmatic excursion from standing to lying down). If this hypothesis is confirmed, kinesitherapists will have more informed positioning choices to improve the effectiveness of respiratory rehabilitation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Diaphragmatic excursion in centimeters in the 4 positions measured by ultrasound

    Day 0

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Correlation between measurement of diaphragmatic excursion in centimeters by ultrasound and weight in kilograms.

    Day 0

  • Correlation between measurement of diaphragmatic excursion in centimeters by ultrasound and waist circumference in centimeters.

    Day 0

  • Correlation between measurement of diaphragmatic excursion in centimeters by ultrasound and BMI in kg/m². Weight in kilograms and height in meters will be combined to report BMI in kg/m².

    Day 0

  • Correlation between measurement of diaphragmatic excursion in centimeters by ultrasound and sex of the participant (male/female).

    Day 0

  • Comfort of the ultrasound examination felt by the patient via a questionnaire

    Day 0
