Skeletal muscle structure and function in response to electrical stimulation in moderately impaired COPD patients

The main findings of the present study were: (i) the responses in heart rate were higher in the exercises of localized muscle endurance compared to the strength

Muscle dysfunction, which is present in COPD patients, manifests among other ways as deficits in peripheral muscle strength, affecting upper limb muscles and, more specifically,

ABSTRACT | The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of transcutaneous electrical diaphragmatic stimulation (TEDS) on respiratory muscle strength and endurance,

The results of the present study suggest that pulmonary function and respiratory muscle strength/endurance change during the daytime in patients with COPD, the values of FEV 1 ,

Respiratory muscle strength and cough capacity in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.. How respiratory muscle strength correlates with cough capacity in patients

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a cycle ergometer exercise program on exercise capacity and inspiratory muscle function in hospitalized

Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the inluence of inspiratory muscle training on functional capacity submaximal and inspiratory muscle strength in patients

The main findings of the present investigation can be summarized as follows: (i) patients with clini- cally stable COPD without dementia or acute confu- sion may nonetheless
