Abnormal chest movement refers to irregular or atypical patterns of breathing or chest expansion during respiration. This can manifest as asymmetry in chest rise and fall, retraction of the intercostal spaces, or paradoxical movement where the chest moves inwards during inhalation and outwards during exhalation. Such abnormalities may indicate underlying respiratory issues, trauma, or conditions affecting lung function. Evaluation by a healthcare professional is essential to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
