Twitch Mouth Pressure and Disease Severity in Subjects With COPD

Abstract: INTRODUCTION:Patients with COPD have impaired respiratory muscle strength. Twitch mouth pressure (P tw,m ) in response to magnetic stimulation of the cervical nerve has been suggested to clinically reflect inspiratory muscle strength. However, studies on P tw,m values and their relationship with disease severity are limited. Thus, we tested the P tw,m values of subjects with COPD and investigated the relationship of these values with disease severity. METHODS: We recruited 75 COPD patients and 63 age-matched c… Show more

“…An association between PI max and the achievement of at least one 10-min bout of MVPA was found in our population, remaining significant in never smokers only. In COPD, twitch mouth pressure has previously been shown to decrease with increasing disease severity and PI max could be improved by exercise training [ 6 , 33 ]. A study among marathon athletes compared to sedentary controls reported a higher respiratory muscle endurance in the athletes - probably as a result of breath technique, but a similar PI max [ 19 ].…”

“…In some cases, its use is preferred, but it is not always possible and does not affect all difficult situations. 12,13 The aim of this study was the investigation of (1) the correlation between P Imax and hand-grip force and (2) the ability of various parameters, such as hand-grip force, sex, and body mass index (BMI) measurements, to predict P Imax .…”

“…Inspiratory muscle strength was demonstrated to be decreased as the severity of COPD increases that were evaluated by the BODE multidimensional index in several studies (25)(26)(27). The results showed that the DOSE Index score is related to a handgrip and inspiratory muscle strength following literature findings.…”

“…Ozsoy et al found that hand grip and inspiratory muscle strength were not different between GOLD B (high symptom level/low exacerbation risk) and GOLD C (low symptom level/ high exacerbation risk) patients with COPD (24). Inspiratory muscle strength was demonstrated to be decreased as the severity of COPD increases that were evaluated by the BODE multidimensional index in several studies (25)(26)(27). The results showed that the DOSE Index score is related to a handgrip and inspiratory muscle strength following literature findings.…”
