Figure 5

Correlation between cranial-caudal length ratios and FVC supine (A), postural drop (B) and MIP (C). The dots represent patients and the triangles volunteers. Spearman’s correlation coefficient (r) was used to calculate the correlation between the cranial-caudal length ratio versus FVC in supine position, the postural drop (ΔFVC) and MIP. As these calculations were performed only in the Pompe patients, the volunteers were excluded for these analyses. FVC = forced vital capacity, MIP = maximum static inspiratory pressure.
