How Respiratory Muscle Strength Correlates with Cough Capacity in Patients with Respiratory Muscle Weakness
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to investigate how respiratory muscle strength correlates to cough capacity in patients with respiratory muscle weakness. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-five patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), 43 with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI), and 42 with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) were recruited. Pulmonary function tests including forced vital...

INTRODUCTION Changes in the respiratory system of asthmatics are also due to the mechanical disadvantage caused by the increased airway resistance. OBJECTIVE The study aims to evaluate the respiratory muscle strength and nutritional status of asthmatic children. METHOD This is a prospective descriptive and transversal study with 50 children aged 7 to 12 years, who were placed into 2 grou...
متن کاملRespiratory muscle strength in chronic heart failure.
BACKGROUND Several studies have suggested that the respiratory muscles are weak in patients with heart failure, but the aetiology and clinical relevance of this weakness are unclear. In order to see if respiratory muscle weakness in this context is part of a more generalised myopathic process, respiratory and limb muscle strength were compared in patients with heart failure. The relation betwee...
متن کاملthe relation of respiratory muscle strength to disease severity and abnormal ventilation during exercise in chronic heart failure patients
objectives the aim of this study was to investigate the relation between respiratory muscle strength and the severity of chf, and the influence of respiratory muscle strength on abnormal ventilation during exercise in chf patients. conclusions respiratory muscle strength is related to the severity of chf, and associated with rapid and shallow ventilation or excessive ventilation during exercise...
