Assessment of respiratory muscle function.
In the last two decades, respiratory muscle function in patients has received considerable attention, particularly since ROUSSOS and MACKLEM [1] hypothesized that respiratory muscle fatigue may be responsible for the development of respiratory failure. Although subsequent research has hitherto largely failed to demonstrate the frequent occurrence of respiratory muscle fatigue [2], it is now cle...
متن کاملAssessment of respiratory muscle strength in the intensive care unit.
The measurement of respiratory muscle strength in the intensive care unit (ICU) is potentially useful for the prediction of weaning outcome. An easy and accurate measure would also allow investigation of respiratory muscle weakness in critically ill patients. At present, there is no satisfactory method of strength measurement in the intensive care unit. Vital capacity is a nonspecific, volition...
متن کاملThe Association of Food Intake and Physical Activity with Body Composition, Muscle Strength and Muscle Function in Postmenopausal Women
Background and Objectives: Sarcopenia is explained as age-related reduction in muscle mass and performance. Some of the most important risk factors for sarcopenia include age, malnutrition, and sedentary life style. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of food intake and physical activity with body composition, muscle strength and muscle function in post-menopausal women. ...
متن کاملRespiratory muscle assessment
Respiratory muscles generate the pressure differences driving ventilation. Respiratory muscle weakness is hence an important clinical feature. In advanced stages, respiratory muscle weakness leads to respiratory pump failure. Respiratory muscle dysfunction (i.e. reduced strength or endurance) is to be distinguished from lung function abnormalities, and should be measured separately. Inspiratory...
متن کاملThe Effect of Bunium persicum (Boiss.) B. Fedtsch. Consumption on Metabolic Syndrome Indices, Muscle Strength, and Cardio-respiratory Function in Active Middle-aged Women: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Background: The effect of Bunium persicum (Boiss.) B. Fedtsch. on the metabolic syndrome and physical fitness of active people have been less studied. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of B. persicum consumption on metabolic syndrome indices, muscle strength, and cardio-respiratory function in active middle-aged women. Method: The research method was quasi-e...
