Introduction: Assessment of exercise capacity is important for information about lung function and prognosis in primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). In addition, deterioration in the pulmonary system may affect cough efficiency, posture, and thoracoabdominal mobility. In turn, this deterioration may also disturb the psychological function of patients with PCD. Therefore, this study aimed to compare exercise capacity, cough strength, thoracoabdominal mobility, posture, and depression in children with PCD and healthy peers.Methods: Twenty-seven patients with PCD and 28 healthy peers were included.Aerobic exercise capacity (3-min step test), cough strength (peak expiratory flow meter), thoracoabdominal mobility (upper chest, lower chest, and abdomen), posture (Corbin postural assessment scale), and depression (Children's Depression Inventory) were evaluated.Results: Patients' number of steps completed, cough strength, and thoracoabdominal mobility were significantly decreased; total posture and depression scores were higher compared with healthy controls (p< 0.05). There was a significant relationship between cough strength and maximal expiratory strength (r = 0.541, p= 0.004) and total number of steps (r = 0.509, p= 0.007) in the patients. Conclusion: Aerobic exercise capacity, cough strength, and thoracoabdominal mobility were impaired, posture was deteriorated, and depression perception elevated in children with PCD compared to healthy peers. Furthermore, aerobic exercise capacity and maximal expiratory strength are related to cough strength in these patients. Rehabilitation programs including aerobic and resistive exercise training, deep breathing and postural exercise, and nutrition counseling may improve these results and better be investigated.

Purpose: Voluntary cough dysfunction is highly prevalent across multiple patient populations. Voluntary cough has been utilized as a screening tool for swallowing safety deficits and as a target for compensatory and exercise-based dysphagia management. However, it remains unclear whether voluntary cough dysfunction is associated with the ability to effectively clear the airway. Method: Individuals with neurodegenerative disorders performed same-day voluntary cough testing and flexible endoscopic evaluations of swallowing (FEES). Participants who were cued to cough after exhibiting penetration to the vocal folds and/or aspiration with thin liquids during FEES met inclusion criteria. One-hundred and twenty-three trials were blinded, and the amount of residue before and after a cued cough on FEES was measured with a visual analog scale. Linear and binomial mixed-effects models examined the relationship between cough airflow during voluntary cough testing and the proportion of residue expelled. Results: Peak expiratory flow rate ( p = .004) and cough expired volume from the entire epoch ( p = .029) were significantly associated with the proportion of aspiration expelled from the subglottis. Peak expiratory flow rate values of 3.00 L/s, 3.50 L/s, and 5.30 L/s provided high predicted probabilities that ≥ 25%, ≥ 50%, and ≥ 80% aspirate was expelled. Accounting for depth of aspiration significantly improved model fit ( p < .001). Conclusions: These findings suggest that voluntary cough airflow is associated with cough effectiveness to clear aspiration from the subglottis, although aspiration amount and depth may play an important role in this relationship. These findings provide further support for the clinical utility of voluntary cough in the management of dysphagia.
