It stops this being a stub.

message: The discussion up to this point about the title of this article took place at Talk:User Account Control#Merge in Run as administrator. No source has been given that "diaphragm spasm" is the correct term for this concept, and Reswobslc himself (or herself) stated that they made up the term. —Remember the dot (t) 05:58, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Um, I made up the title.  Not the term.  Rather, I should say that I selected the title.  Because if you Google "diaphragm spasm", Google knows what you're talking about.  ANd if you google "wind knocked out", every page that purports to explain what that means describes the diaphragm muscle spasming, without giving it a specific medical name beyond this. And when I challenged you to do a move, I certainly meant to move it to a more appropriate name, like a medically-accepted word, not to a non-encyclopedic idiomatic slang term that contains the word "you".

text: I wholeheartedly agree, and if a doctor says it's been called a Somethingus Whateverus since the time of Julius Caesar, then it shall be changed at once.  Hiccups are also a diaphragm spasm, but not of the getting-the-wind-knocked-out-of-you sort.  That pretty much sums up how I saw the issue.  There's got to be a medical name for it.  Just no one here knows it. Reswobslc 08:09, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

message: it's also perceived that having the wind knocked out of you is due to exhalation of your RV (residual volume).
this causes some of the alveoli to close, creating negative transpulmonary pressure in certain parts of the lung.
making initiation of opening the alveoli difficult.  normal lung fxn always has positive transpulm. pressure.
i can't find much citation on it, but here's an online book that briefly mentions it and the diaphragm spasm theory.

thread_title:  "Getting the wind knocked out of you" doesn't sound like a very encyclopedic title. 

message: The reference to MacAuley, Oxford Handbook of Sport and Exercise Medicine, states: "The Winded Athlete. A blow to the solar plexus, with abdominal muscles relaxed, leaves the athlete temporarily unable to breathe."
I am not able to view the second reference (Furuya, "Neurogenic shock caused by striking on epigastrium"). However neurogenic shock has a specific medical meaning, quite distinct from the injury described in this article. Axl ¤ [Talk] 09:09, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

message: 'Lock' in this case is not exactly scientific, but it shows that wind-knocking of humans causes the diaphragm to lock for seconds, even minutes.
When you breathe water, you WILL choke and die. I nearly died one time in a swimming accident where I was absolutely nuts not to surface and breathe. Well, I could not surface in time and I inhaled water. Just a tidbit from JJhashisreasons (talk) 00:04, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
