Impact of expiratory strength training in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
INTRODUCTION We evaluated the feasibility and impact of expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) on respiratory and bulbar function in persons with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). METHODS Twenty-five ALS patients participated in this delayed intervention open-label clinical trial. Following a lead-in period, patients completed a 5-week EMST protocol. Outcome measures included: maximum ...
متن کاملIncreasing peak expiratory flow time in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
BACKGROUND Serial measurements of pulmonary function to indicate decreasing respiratory muscle strength in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is well documented. Quantitative outcome measures include declining FVC, FEV1, maximal inspired pressure, maximal expired pressure, and maximal voluntary ventilation. Increasing peak expiratory flow time (PEFT) may represent a further sensi...
متن کاملAmyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in a Patient with Behçet’s Disease
Behçet’s disease is a multisystem vasculitis. Its neurological involvement mostly includes parenchymal and non-parenchymal central nervous system manifestations. Peripheral nervous system presentations are rare. A 32-yr-old male patient who fulfilled the international study group criteria for Behçet’s disease, referred to our center with walking difficulty and repeated falling downs. Neurologi...
متن کاملOccurrence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis among Iran-Iraq war veterans
Abstract Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurological disorder with high mortality and morbidity. Some risk factors have been implicated for ALS such as exposure to high magnetic fields, and trace elements like selenium, cadmium and lead. Afew studies have been carried out throughout the world to evaluate the prevalence of ALS among veterans. This stud...
متن کاملRespiratory training in an individual with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
We examined the impact of expiratory muscle strength training on maximum expiratory pressure, cough spirometry, and disease progression in a 71-year-old male with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Maximum expiratory pressure declined 9% over an 8-week sham training period, but subsequently improved by 102% following 8 weeks of expiratory muscle strength training. Improvements in cough spirometry a...
