Respiratory muscle function in cystic fibrosis.
Maximal static expiratory and inspiratory mouth pressures (PEmax and PImax) and quadriceps femoris muscle strength were measured in 25 patients aged 16-28 years with cystic fibrosis (mean FEV1 46% predicted). Mean (SD) PEmax was 64% (18%) predicted (below 75% predicted in 16 of the 25 patients), and PImax was 64% (24%) predicted (below 75% predicted in 14 patients). Quadriceps muscle strength w...
متن کاملMaintaining Respiratory Health in Cystic Fibrosis Patients

متن کاملCorticosteroids and skeletal muscle function in cystic fibrosis.
Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) have reduced peripheral muscle strength. We tested the hypothesis that steroid treatment contributes to muscle weakness in adults with CF. Twenty-three stable CF patients were studied. Measurements included knee extensor (KE), knee flexor (KF), elbow flexor (EF), handgrip (HG), expiratory (Pemax), and inspiratory (Pimax) muscle strengths. Spirometry, body mass...
