Abstract(s)

Within the discipline of respiratory medicine, there is a growing recognition of the relevance of breathing pattern disorders. Breathing pattern disorder, or dysfunctional breathing, is commonly characterized by an abnormal breathing pattern resulting in respiratory and non-respiratory symptoms, which may occur secondary to diseases or in its absence. The underlying mechanisms can be physiological (e.g. lung disease), but also psychological (e.g. anxiety, stress and pain) and biomechanical (e.g. overuse-related musculoskeletal injuries). Assessment of the breathing pattern is thus an important aspect to include in the clinical examination.
