About This Trial
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by both motor and non-motor symptoms. The involvement of respiratory muscles can lead to impairments in respiratory function in these patients. In this study is to evaluate the thickness of abdominal accessory respiratory muscles using ultrasonography in patients with Parkinson's disease. Additionally, the relationship between disea…
