“…Values of chest expansion increased by 22.7% after FRT within FRTG, whereas control group participants showed little change in their values of chest expansion. These results are similar to findings recorded after inspiratory muscle training in patients with COPD and myasthenia gravis 25,26) , and they demonstrate increased chest expansion after inspiratory muscle training. Interestingly, Sahin et al 27) reported a positive correlation between chest expansion and maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) in patients with ankylosing spondylolitis.…”

Abstract.[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of feedback respiratory training on chest expansion and pulmonary function in patients with stroke. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-seven patients with stroke were randomly assigned to two groups: the feedback respiratory training group (experimental) (n=13) and the control group (control) (n=14). Feedback respiratory training and conventional physical therapy were performed by the experimental group. Conventional physical therapy was performed by the control group. Both groups received training three times per week for four weeks.[Results] Significant improvements were observed in chest expansion after training in the experimental group. Gains in chest expansion were greater in the experimental than in control group. Values of forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume at one second, peak expiratory flow, vital capacity, expiratory reserve volume, and inspiratory reserve volume in pulmonary function tests increased post-training in the experimental group. With the exception of expiratory reserve volume, all of these pulmonary function test measures showed greater gains in the experimental group than in the control group. [Conclusion] Feedback respiratory training is effective for the improvement of chest expansion and pulmonary function in patients with stroke.

“…However, 2 scientific studies showed that regular respiratory-muscle training significantly improved muscle strength and endurance. A controlled study evaluating an 8-week inspiratory muscle training found an improvement in inspiratory muscle strength, an improvement in thoracic wall mobility and an increase in respiratory endurance [20]. An uncontrolled study showed that endurance training of the respiratory muscles resulted in significant improvement in respiratory endurance and an increase in the volume of air ventilated [21].…”

“…This is a valuable small effective device that can easily be used in clinics, hospitals or even at home operated by the patient. There is published evidence regarding the improvement of respiratory function, respiratory muscle strength, exercise capacity, quality of life and functional capacity in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (35,36) , Parkinson's disease (37), and Myasthenia Gravis (38) after having follow a program of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) with threshold load. These results suggest that IMT may be beneficial for individuals with neurological diseases.…”

“…Trata-se de um dispositivo vantajoso, pequeno, eficaz e que pode ser utilizado com facilidade em clínicas, hospitais ou até mesmo em casa pelo próprio paciente. Na literatura científica já existem evidências sobre a melhora da função respiratória, da força dos músculos respiratórios, capacidade de exercício, qualidade de vida e capacidade funcional em pacientes com Esclerose Múltipla (35,36) ; Doença de Parkinson (37) e Miastenia Gravis (38) submetidos ao um programa de treino muscular inspiratório com carga limiar. Tais resultados sugerem que esse tipo de treino pode ser benéfico em indivíduos com doenças neurológicas.…”

141 Biomedical and Biopharmaceutical Research J o r n a l d e I n v e s t i g a ç ã o B i o m é d i c a e B i o f a r m a c ê u t i c a Respiratory Changes in Patients with Stroke Alterações Respiratórias nos Pacientes com Acidente Vascular AbstractThis study aimed to review published literature concerning the major changes that occur in the respiratory system after stroke, and also the impact of respiratory muscle training in these patients. The literature search was conducted through electronic databases (PubMed, SciELO and Pedro) in Portuguese and English languages on themes related to changes in the respiratory system and methods of assessment and rehabilitation of respiratory muscle strength in individuals affected by stroke. There is scientific evidence that individuals affected by stroke may show decreased inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength. Studies suggest that respiratory muscle training through threshold load can bring benefits by improving respiratory function and respiratory muscle strength. However, more studies should be conducted to deepen the knowledge about the benefits and long-term effects of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with stroke. Keywords: Stroke, Respiratory Muscle Strength, Maximum Respiratory Pressure and Respiratory MuscleTraining. ResumoO objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre as principais alterações que ocorrem no sistema respiratório após o Acidente Vascular Cerebral (AVC) e também sobre os efeitos de treino muscular respiratório nestes pacientes. A metodologia adotada foi a pesquisa de artigos através das bases de dados electrónicas (Pubmed, Scielo e Pedro) em língua portuguesa e inglesa relacionando os temas: alterações do sistema respiratório e métodos de avaliação e reabilitação da força muscular respiratória em indivíduos acometidos pelo AVC. Existe evidência científica de que indivíduos acometidos pelo AVC podem apresentar diminuição da força muscular inspiratória e expiratória. Estudos sugerem que o treino muscular respiratório, através de carga limiar, pode trazer benefícios quanto a melhora da função respiratória e da força dos músculos respiratórios. Porém, mais estudos devem ser realizados para o aprofundamento do conhecimento sobre os benefícios e efeitos a longo prazo da reabilitação respiratória em pacientes com AVC.
