Fig. 3

Diaphragmatic thickening fraction (DTf) on both hemi diaphragms under different inspiratory pressure loads. DTf: Diaphragm thickening fraction; MIP: Maximum inspiratory pressure; Inserted numbers are mean DTf% ± SD. Data of the hemiplegic side are in italics and bold. \(< - - - - >\)Between intensity load comparison on hemiplegic side. \(\longleftrightarrow\) Between intensity load comparison on non-affected side. *Denotes p<0.05. **denotes p<0.001 (mean difference values refer to Table 3).
