Reference Values for Maximal Inspiratory Pressure: A Systematic Review [PDF]

Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2014
BACKGROUND: Maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) is the most commonly used measure to evaluate inspiratory muscle strength. Normative values for MIP vary significantly among studies, which may reflect differences in participant demographics and technique ...

The role of maximal inspiratory pressure on functional performance in adults with heart failure. [PDF]

ESC Heart Fail
Abstract Background Exercise intolerance is common among adults with heart failure (HF) and is a strong prognostic indicator. We examined maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) as an indicator of maximal and submaximal exercise capacity in older HF patients.

Maximal Inspiratory Pressure and Maximal Expiratory Pressure in Healthy Korean Children. [PDF]

Ann Rehabil Med, 2017
To evaluate respiratory muscle strength in healthy Korean children in order to establish the criteria for normal reference values for future applications. In contrast with the other parameters for testing pulmonary function, normal values for respiratory muscle strength in healthy Korean children have not been assessed to date.We conducted a complete ...

Trend of maximal inspiratory pressure in mechanically ventilated patients: predictors [PDF]

Clinics, 2008
INTRODUCTION: It is known that mechanical ventilation and many of its features may affect the evolution of inspiratory muscle strength during ventilation. However, this evolution has not been described, nor have its predictors been studied.

Effects of Incremental Inspiratory Load on Inspiratory Muscle Activity in Subjects with Chronic Stroke in Comparison to Healthy Controls: A Case–Control Study [PDF]

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology
Background: Inspiratory training after stroke has been used to improve muscle function and strength; however, its acute effects under different inspiratory loads are not well understood.

Fast dynamic voluntary contractions enhance corticospinal facilitation of the human diaphragm: A transcranial magnetic stimulation study [PDF]

Physiological Reports
In limb muscles, corticospinal excitability is modulated by motor context, with greater facilitation during movement initiation and dynamic contractions than during sustained isometric activation.

Assessment of diaphragmatic thickness by ultrasonography in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
INTRODUCTION:In Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) the assessment of diaphragmatic function is crucial because respiratory muscle weakness can cause respiratory failure.
