Respiratory system compensation is lost as disease progresses, with the emergence of reduced peak inspiratory pressure\u2010generating capacity in advanced disease. We hypothesised that extra\u2010diaphragmatic inspiratory muscles compensate for diaphragm dysfunction in early dystrophic disease, supporting the maintenance of peak respiratory performance in <jats:italic>mdx<\/jats:italic> mice. We reasoned that extra\u2010diaphragmatic muscle dysfunction would emerge with progressive disease, leading to the loss of peak inspiratory pressure\u2010generating capacity in advanced dystrophic disease. We measured ventilation, inspiratory pressure, and obligatory (diaphragm, intercostal and parasternal) and accessory (sternomastoid, cleidomastoid, scalene and trapezius) respiratory muscle form, function and EMG activity in early (4\u00a0months) and advanced (16\u00a0months) dystrophic disease. Despite obligatory and accessory muscle dysfunction, including structural remodelling, weakness and reduced EMG activity, peak inspiratory pressure\u2010generating capacity and ventilation are preserved in early disease. Obligatory and accessory muscle dysfunction progressively declines with advanced disease, with the emergence of reduced peak inspiratory pressure\u2010generating capacity. However, although there was evidence of progressive accessory muscle dysfunction, more profound remodelling was seen in the diaphragm muscle comparing early and advanced dystrophic disease. In conclusion, in early dystrophic disease, peak inspiratory performance is compensated. A progressive decline in diaphragm and extra\u2010diaphragmatic muscles contributes to respiratory system compromise in advanced disease. Further loss of compensation afforded by extra\u2010diaphragmatic muscles probably contributes to end\u2010stage respiratory failure.\n<jats:boxed-text content-type=\"graphic\" position=\"anchor\"><jats:graphic xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" mimetype=\"image\/png\" position=\"anchor\" specific-use=\"enlarged-web-image\" xlink:href=\"graphic\/tjp16802-gra-0001-m.png\"><jats:alt-text>image<\/jats:alt-text><\/jats:graphic><\/jats:boxed-text><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Key points<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:list list-type=\"bullet\">\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>We characterised obligatory and accessory respiratory muscle form, function and control in early and advanced disease in the <jats:italic>mdx<\/jats:italic> mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Profound diaphragm muscle remodelling, immune cell infiltration, elevated cytokine concentrations and dysfunction present in early disease, but peak inspiratory performance is fully compensated.
