Determining the exact prevalence of AIE is made difficult by barriers including: 1) under-diagnosis due to decreased perception or under-reporting of symptoms by patients [21], 2) suboptimal utilization of spirometry and other diagnostic tests, 3) misclassification of asthma as chronic obstructive pu...
However, in the case of achondroplasia, neuromuscular capacity is reduced compared with ordinary healthy people [17,53,80,81], which may be explained by the low percentage/amount of muscle mass achieved. This leads to muscle fatigue at an early stage [48]. While the mean muscle strength for...
