Highlighted claims
- In a turtle-shell posture, the sternum is depressed and the anterior upper thorax is compressed. — Collapsed Arches, Breathing Mechanics, and Posture
- A heavily rounded turtle-back posture is generally rejected for upper posterior thorax expansion. — Collapsed Arches, Breathing Mechanics, and Posture
- Excessive rounding tends to shift inhaled air toward the mid-to-lower posterior thorax rather than the desired upper region. — Collapsed Arches, Breathing Mechanics, and Posture
- Compression of the front side prevents normal upper thorax filling. — Collapsed Arches, Breathing Mechanics, and Posture
- The desired rounding should be produced by air expanding the thorax rather than by forcing the spine into flexion. — Collapsed Arches, Breathing Mechanics, and Posture
