Abstract: In patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E) addresses cough deficiency to achieve major therapeutic goals: improving costal muscle and joint function, reducing atelectasis through insufflation, and clearing bronchial secretions via exsufflation. Despite… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Effectiveness of mechanical assisted coughing with insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E) in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) depends largely on severity of bulbar dysfunction, which can generate different upper-airway responses. The aim of the study was to evaluate… read more here.
