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 کاملRespiratory muscle strength predicts decline in mobility in older persons.
OBJECTIVES To test the hypothesis that respiratory muscle strength is associated with the rate of change in mobility even after controlling for leg strength and physical activity. METHODS Prospective study of 890 ambulatory older persons without dementia who underwent annual clinical evaluations to examine change in the rate of mobility over time. RESULTS In a linear mixed-effect model adju...
