Increased anterior-posterior (AP) diameter refers to a broadening of the chest, often seen in conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) where the lungs become hyperinflated. Decreased excursion indicates reduced movement of the thoracic cavity during breathing, which can result from stiffness in the lungs or chest wall, or weakness in respiratory muscles. Together, these findings suggest impaired respiratory function and may indicate underlying pulmonary or musculoskeletal issues.
