We investigated respiratory muscle strength, diaphragm mobility, lung function, functional capacity, quality of life, body composition, breathing pattern, and chest wall ( VT,CW ) and compartmental volumes of Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) patients and compared these variables with matched healthy individuals. A cross-sectional study with data analyzed separately according to age group. A total of 68 individuals (34 MPS and 34 matched-healthy subjects) were included. Six-minute walking test assessed functional capacity and ultrasound assessed diaphragm mobility during quiet spontaneous breathing (QB). Optoelectronic plethysmography assessed  VT,CW  and breathing pattern during QB in two different positions: seated and supine (45° trunk inclination). Body composition, lung function, respiratory muscle strength, and functional capacity were reduced in MPS (all  p  &lt; 0.01). Diaphragm mobility was only reduced in adolescents ( p  = 0.01) and correlated with body composition and breathing pattern. Upper chest wall compartmental volumes were significantly lower in MPS, while abdominal volume only differed significantly in adolescents. Percentage contribution (%) of upper ribcage compartments to tidal volume was reduced in MPS children, whereas %AB was significantly increased compared with healthy subjects. Lung function, respiratory muscle strength, functional capacity, diaphragm mobility, and quality of life are reduced in MPS compared with matched healthy subjects.  VT,CW  was mainly reduced due to pulmonary and abdominal ribcage impairment.Implications for RehabilitationReduction in respiratory muscle strength, functional capacity, diaphragm excursion and low lung volumes were found in individuals with Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS).Chest wall volumes and the upper chest wall compartmental volumes during quiet spontaneous breathing are reduced in MPS.Assessment and monitoring of the respiratory system for individuals with MPS should be performed periodically through standardized assessments to enable identification of changes and early intervention by rehabilitation protocols.This study may provide the necessary basis for carrying out respiratoty rehabilitation protocols that can improving chest wall mechanics with breathing exercise in this group.
