Respiratory Muscle Training in the Elderly: a Strategy for Preservation of Inspiratory and Expiratory Pressures Impacting on Mobility and Thickness of the Diaphragm.

Universidade Federal de Pernambuco·interventional·Posted Feb 13, 2013·Updated Feb 13, 2013

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Inspiratory muscle training and Training sham for Muscular Atrophy and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 22 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Aging causes anatomical and physiological changes in the respiratory system and respiratory muscle strength with decline in its maximum function. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of inspiratory muscle training on respiratory muscle strength, thickness of the diaphragm and diaphragmatic mobility in older women. The investigators' hypothesis is that inspiratory muscle training improves respiratory muscle strength, the thickness of the diaphragm and diaphragmatic mobility in older women.
