Respiratory Muscle Strength and Function in Patients With Neuromuscular Disease
The purpose of this study is to determine if inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) will
impact maximal inspiratory pressure and pulmonary function in patients with neuromuscular
disease.
impact maximal inspiratory pressure and pulmonary function in patients with neuromuscular
disease.
Subjects undergo a 12-week period of inspiratory muscle strength training. Respiratory
strength is assessed before and after the training period.
strength is assessed before and after the training period.
