Abstract: | In the aging process, the individual goes through physiological changes, especially the decline in lung function. The incentive spirometry, used in many populations, not yet makes clear the difference between the methods and the volume flow on respiratory variables in older subjects. This study aimed to compare the effects of incentive spirometry -volume and flow, on pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength and thoracoabdominal mobility in healthy elderly. It was a clinical trial with 48 elderly betwe… Show more

“…The spirometer used was a Contec® SP10 (Contec Medical Systems Co., Qinhuangdao, China). Respiratory muscle strength was assessed by determining the maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) 10 . The analog manovacuometer used was from Murenas® (Murenas Produtos para Saude Ltda., Juiz de Fora, Brasil).…”

“…A current study 38 with 48 healthy elderly subjects randomized into group therapy with RESPIRON® and the other therapy group with Voldyne® presented an increase in some variables, such as: respiratory muscle strength, lung function (spirometry values) and thoracoabdominal mobility in both groups by approving these devices as good allies of respiratory therapy.…”
