Breathing Untrained Trained Support Diaphragm Healthy Unhealthy
Intervention • Proof of Concept
Respiratory Muscle Strength Training Since about 1999 BilateralParalysis SCI PD MS Children Elderly SpinalMuscleAtrophy ALS ParadoxicalVF Dysfunction Safety COPD
Intervention What is it? What is it not? Who can it be used with? Outcomes: Case, Group, and Randomized trials CoMorbidities Protocol Maintenance
Respiratory Muscle Strength Training (RMST) • The process of building strength within muscle groups • Two Types: • Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training (IMST) • Diaphragm • External intercostals • Expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) • Abdominals • Internal intercostals
Question: Which Direction? Problem? Purpose? Desired Outcome? MIP or MEP?
Overload & Specificity • Training must“overload” the system/muscle type LowLoad Overload
Progress Strength • Neural adaptations (6-8 weeks) • Myogenic adaptations (+ 5 weeks) Hypertrophy Neural adaptations Time (Modified from Sale, 1988) Result:Adaptations
What is a RMST? • General “breathing exercisers” • Resistive trainers – is there a difference? • Pressure threshold trainers
EMST? 4 week program 5 days per week 25 breaths per day Load set at 75% of MEP • Expiratory pressure threshold training: • Pressure‑threshold device • Calibrated, one way, spring-loaded valve • Not resistance training (physiological load calibrated and imposed) • Target muscles: expiratory (abdominals) and supralaryngeal
Loaded Spring Mouthpiece Adjustable Valve What is the setting?
Provides specific, constant, pressure load (spring loaded valve 0-150 cm/H20)
Recommendations for Training (EMST) Twice daily exercise in all studies Daily or every other day Most studies used an overload principle Specificity of training observed with some carry-over noted 5 weeks to 3 months of training resulted in increased respiratory muscle strength
Time to Train • Training manual included • Video online • Very simple to use • Very instrumental feeling
