Using the spirometry to indicate respiratory exercises for elderly with Parkinson’s disease

Abstract: Introduction: Respiratory dysfunction is the main cause of death in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and bronchoaspiration pneumonia is the most common clinical respiratory complication. Objective: To assess respiratory function of elderly with PD in mild to moderate phase of the disease. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried. Elderly in 2 to 3 PD Hoehn & Yahr stage have participated. A single researcher has evaluated maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximal expiratory pressure (MEP), thoracoa… Show more

“…This may be because reduced PEF values might be explained by respiratory muscle weakness. According to Melo et al [27], the participants classified as an obstructive disorder present a significant reduction in expiratory muscle strength and maximal expiratory flow. It seems that the reduction in respiratory muscle strength may be associated with aging process, neurological impairments, reduction of rib cage movement, and flexed posture [28].…”

“…It seems that the reduction in respiratory muscle strength may be associated with aging process, neurological impairments, reduction of rib cage movement, and flexed posture [28]. These characteristics reduce muscle capacity to generate forced flows, contributing to the reduction of pulmonary volumes and respiratory pressures, especially the maximum expiratory pressure, which will worsen with the evolution of the disease [27].…”

“…To date ,quitea few genes have been detected as hereditary causes of hereditary PD (dominantly inherited SNCA and LRRK2 alterations, as well as recessive Parkin, PINK1, and ATP13A2 polymorphisms). New Parkinson's disease genes were found, including VPS35 and CHCHD2, which emphasise the significance of mitochondrial function in the disease pathogenesis 42 . Various other factors related to mitochondrial malfunctioning responsible for PD are mentioned in Table 1.…”

“…A doença de Parkinson (DP) é considerada uma enfermidade neurodegenerativa que se caracteriza como um distúrbio dos neurônios dopaminérgicos da substância negra do mesencéfalo 1,2 . Dentro do seu quadro sintomático, destacam-se as alterações posturais, temores, rigidez e bradicinesia 3 .…”
