Respiratory muscle strength in asthmatic children
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 کاملRespiratory muscle strength training with nonrespiratory maneuvers.
The diaphragm and abdominal muscles can be recruited during nonrespiratory maneuvers. With these maneuvers, transdiaphragmatic pressures are elevated to levels that could potentially provide a strength-training stimulus. To determine whether repeated forceful nonrespiratory maneuvers strengthen the diaphragm, four healthy subjects performed sit-ups and biceps curls 3-4 days/wk for 16 wk and fou...
متن کاملHow 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...
متن کاملThe value of multiple tests of respiratory muscle strength.
BACKGROUND Respiratory muscle weakness is an important clinical problem. Tests of varying complexity and invasiveness are available to assess respiratory muscle strength. The relative precision of different tests in the detection of weakness is less clear, as is the value of multiple tests. METHODS The respiratory muscle function tests of clinical referrals who had multiple tests assessed in ...
