INTRODUCTION: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a systemic disease characterized not only by respiratory symptoms but also by physical deconditioning and muscle weakness. One prominent manifestation of this disease is the decline in respiratory muscle strength. Previous studies have linked the gen...

SUMMARY: Pulmonary ventilation is a mechanical process in which the respiratory muscles act in coordination to maintain the oxygenation of the organism. Any alteration in the performance of these muscles may reduce the effectiveness of the process. The respiratory muscles differ from the other skeletal m...
INTRODUCTION: Diaphragm is the primary
inspiratory muscle and it plays an essential role in controlling the
spine during postural control. In nonspecific low back pain, the
diaphragm muscle becomes weak, due to which the pulmonary
functions may decrease. To the best of our knowledge there is a
scarcity o...
SUMMARY BACKGROUND: The infection caused by coronavirus disease 2019 can lead to respiratory sequelae in individuals who have experienced severe or mild symptoms. METHODS: An observational, cross-sectional study was developed, following the STROBE guidelines. Maximal inspiratory and expiratory mouth pr...
El control de la respiración comprende un componente automático involuntario y un componente voluntario, con centros de control en el tronco encefálico, principalmente en la médula oblonga y en el puente, y en la corteza cerebral. Estos cent...
Introdução: O transplante de fígado (TxF) é o procedimento padrão recomendado para pacientes com doença hepática terminal. Muitos, enquanto aguardam o TxF apresentam como deterioração funcional a diminuição da força muscular respiratória, força de preensão palmar e capacidade funcional. O ...
A dinapenia da musculatura ventilatória relaciona-se com as complicações respiratórias pós-operatórias e aos óbitos de idosos submetidos a procedimentos cirúrgicos de etiologia toracoabdominal. Objetivo: Verificar o efeito crônico do treinamento cardiorrespiratório sobre a força dos músculos ...
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Lung age estimation is a useful approach to determine pulmonary pathologies. In literature, no studies have evaluated and compared lung age in athletes with healthy volunteers. This study aims to compare lung age and respiratory muscle strength in female volleyball players and age-mat...
Objetivo – Avaliar a capacidade cardiorrespiratória e força muscular respiratória de crianças escolares. Métodos – Foram avaliadas crianças escolares com a faixa etária de 9 a 12 anos, de ambos os sexos, acompanhados no reforço escolar da professora Giovanna. Aplicou-se uma ficha de avaliaç...
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Liver cirrhosis (LC) causes several musculoskeletal changes. OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that the peripheral and inspiratory muscle endurance are reduced in patients with liver cirrhosis. METHODS: Twenty-one patients with LC (LC group; 61±14 years) and 18 age-matched sub...
