Physical Exam report
From notes of a Physical exam of adolescent diagnosed with malaria (in Guinea, if that's material)...
"Langue propre, dentition complète. Abdomen symétrique, participant à la respiration, sans cicatrice opératoire visible, souple et sensible dans son ensemble..."
Not sure how to translate this. Is it that the patient is "actively breathing on his own"? Or somehow "participant" is referring here to the abdomen, as in "breathing (deeply including) from the abdomen."
Any suggestions?

moving with
A Google search will reveal many instances of "The abdomen moves with respiration / breathing". This is normal. Absence of movement can reveal pain, discomfort, stress, and a range of abdominal conditions (peptic ulcers, gastrointestinal perforation, etc.). This expression is often accompanied by comments about the symmetry of the abdomen. Presumably quite simply because if it is symmetrical, things are better rather than worse. Abdominal inspection involves: "First, the general contour of the entire abdominal wall is observed. The contour should be checked carefully for distention and note made as to whether any distention is generalized or localized to a portion of the abdomen. Similarly, the flanks should be checked for any bulging."
I don't think the observation is connected to malaria, any more than is the observation about the patient's tongue and teeth and the absence of abdominal scars. However, advanced malaria can cause abdominal complications, so the comment souple et sensible might have some bearing.
Nor do I think participant à la respiration refers to abdominal breathing per se. Participant suggests a lower, secondary degree of respiratory involvement, maybe none at all, just an induced movement. As an asthmatic child I was a paradoxical-cum-thoracic breather and had sessions with a respiratory physiotherapist to learn belly breathing, so I know a little bit about such things.
That said, though I've been attempting to join the dots, this is really little more than a guess.

Taking into account the probable term omission in the medical jargon and the Guinean French use, I would dare to suggest that the probable meaning is 'symetrical abdomen' helping (the patient) in the effort needed to breathe (normally)...
Example sentence:

Différentes expériences semblent avoir exclu l'intervention d'autres muscles participant à la respiration normale. Ainsi, la reprise de la ...

participating/participates in breathing
Nothing wrong with the most literal translation.
There are several ways of breathing, one involves the "active participation" of abdominal muscles.

As you can see, the action of breathing that you take for granted and are almost unaware of is quite complex with quite a few muscles at play. It is not surprising then that muscles in the abdominal region also play a role. Specifically, the rectus abdominis pulls the ribs down during active expiration.
