How is assessment of symmetry of chest excursion or expansion done?
What will be an ideal response?
Assessment of symmetry of chest excursion or expansion can be done by placing the hands on corresponding opposite position of the right and left sides of chest or posterior thorax with the examiner's thumbs touching. When the patient takes in a deep breath, the hands of the examiner should move apart in equal distance from midline. If one hand moves less than the other, the affected side with less air movement may have conditions such as consolidation, pleural effusion, atelectasis, and pneumothorax
