Abstract: BACKGROUND Expiratory muscle weakness and impaired airway clearance are early signs of respiratory dysfunction in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a degenerative muscle disorder in which muscle cells are damaged and replaced by fibrofatty tissue. Little… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.physio.2019.06.002
Abstract: BACKGROUND Respiratory muscle strength declines in certain disease states, leading to impaired cough, reduced airway clearance and an increased risk of aspiration pneumonia. Respiratory muscle training may therefore reduce this risk. OBJECTIVES To assess current… read more here.

DOI: 10.1183/13993003.congress-2020.2964
Abstract: Background: Expiratory muscle training (EMT) is effective for improving coughing and swallowing function in dysphagia patients. However, the effect of EMT on the muscle contraction of the pharynx is unclear. We hypothesized that EMT would… read more here.
