“…To acknowledge muscle strength that are independent of the condition of the lung, the most widely applied technique in the assessment of inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength, MIP and MEP were measured using a digital spirometer (Pony FX; COSMED, Rome, Italy) [ 20 ]. MIP and MEP are widely used to evaluate global inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength and measure the maximum pressures at the mouth [ 21 22 ]. Clinically, MIP is the most common technique in the assessment of inspiratory muscle strength, and MEP is the only test generally available for measuring expiratory muscle strength [ 20 ].…”

ObjectiveTo evaluate sarcopenic indices in relation to respiratory muscle strength (RMS) in elderly people.MethodsThis study included 65 volunteers over the age of 60 (30 men and 35 women). The skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) was measured using bioimpedance analysis. Limb muscle function was assessed by handgrip strength (HGS), the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), and gait speed. RMS was addressed by maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) using a spirometer. The relationships between RMS and other sarcopenic indices were investigated using the Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression analysis adjusted for age, HGS, and SPPB.ResultsBoth MIP and MEP were positively correlated with SMI (r=0.451 and r=0.388, respectively, p<0.05 in both). HGS showed a significant correlation with both MIP and MEP (r=0.560, p<0.01 and r=0.393, p<0.05, respectively). There was no significant correlation between gait speed and either MIP or MEP. The SPPB was positively correlated with MEP (r=0.436, p<0.05). In the multiple regression analysis, MIP was significantly associated with HGS and SMI (p<0.001 and p<0.05, respectively), while MEP was related only with HGS (p<0.05).ConclusionThis study suggests that respiratory muscles, especially inspiratory muscles, are significantly related to limb muscle strength and skeletal muscle mass. The clinical significance of MIP and MEP should be further investigated with prospective studies.

“…While the group treated with physical therapy showed less-significant results, most of the patients in our study reported relaxation effects immediately after application of cephalic traction and muscle energy techniques for scalene muscles. Similarly, another study demonstrated that these techniques had an effective role in improving vital capacity, increasing respiratory muscle efficiency, increasing cervical flexibility, and decreasing fatigability levels [ 43 ]. This study also revealed that the more the lengths of the scalene muscles changed per unit volume, the lower the alveolar pressure became.…”

Background With the growing stress on hospitals caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for home-based solutions has become a necessity to support these overwhelmed hospitals. Objective The goal of this study was to compare two nonpharmacological respiratory treatment methods for home-isolated COVID-19 patients using a newly developed telemanagement health care system. Methods In this single-blinded randomized clinical trial, 60 patients with stage 1 pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection were treated. Group A (n=30) received oxygen therapy with bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) ventilation, and Group B (n=30) received osteopathic manipulative respiratory and physical therapy techniques. Arterial blood gases of PaO2 and PaCO2, pH, vital signs (ie, temperature, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, heart rate, and blood pressure), and chest computed tomography scans were used for follow-up and for assessment of the course and duration of recovery. Results Analysis of the results showed a significant difference between the two groups (P<.05), with Group A showing shorter recovery periods than Group B (mean 14.9, SD 1.7 days, and mean 23.9, SD 2.3 days, respectively). Significant differences were also observed between baseline and final readings in all of the outcome measures in both groups (P<.05). Regarding posttreatment satisfaction with our proposed telemanagement health care system, positive responses were given by most of the patients in both groups. Conclusions It was found that home-based oxygen therapy with BiPAP can be a more effective prophylactic treatment approach than osteopathic manipulative respiratory and physical therapy techniques, as it can impede exacerbation of early-stage COVID-19 pneumonia. Telemanagement health care systems are promising methods to help in the pandemic-related shortage of hospital beds, as they showed reasonable effectiveness and reliability in the monitoring and management of patients with early-stage COVID-19 pneumonia.

“…Measurements were performed starting with quiet breathing, and then followed by maximal exhalation and maximal inhalation according to the instructions provided with the measuring instrument. Sufficient time was allowed to return to normal breathing status between measurements 11 ) . The mean value of 3 measurements in the pulmonary function test was used for the analysis.…”

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine whether a trunk forward bending angle in sitting position affected slow vital capacity (SVC). [Subjects and Methods] The subjects of this study were 18 healthy college students to whom the study’s methods and purpose were explained and their agreement for participation was obtained. Slow vital capacity was measured using spirometry (Pony FX, COSMED Inc., Italy), repeatedly at a body bending angle of 0°, 15°, and 30° in the sitting position. [Results] Vital capacity, expiratory reserve volume, and inspiratory reserve volume were significantly different according to the trunk forward bending angle. There were no statistically significant differences in tidal volume and inspiratory capacity. [Conclusion] The results demonstrated that the body bending angle of 15° in the sitting position was the most effective angle for increasing lung volume.
