This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effectiveness of two home-based, stand-alone inspiratory muscle training (IMT) modalities - flow-resistive loading with biofeedback (IRFL) and mechanical threshold (MTL) compared to a sham MTL group for improving performance functional exercise capacity in COPD patients. Thirty-six patients trained at home 8 weeks under remote monitoring. Primary outcomes included assessed via Test Incremental Respiratory Endurance (TIRE), capacity, lung...
Purpose: The Test of Incremental Respiratory Endurance (TIRE) provides a comprehensive assessment inspiratory muscle performance by measuring maximal pressure (MIP) over time. integration MIP duration (ID) the sustained (SMIP). Evidence on reliability and validity these measurements in COPD is not currently available. Therefore, we assessed reliability, responsiveness construct TIRE measures subjects with COPD. Patients methods: Test–retest known-groups convergent assessments were...
Background: Arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) is a relevant measurement for individualized prescription of exercise with blood flow restriction (BFRE). Therefore, it important to consider factors that may influence this measure. Purpose: This study aimed compare lower limb AOP (LL-AOP) measured 11 cm (medium) and 18 (large) cuffs, in different body positions, explore the predictors each LL-AOP measurements performed. information be useful future studies seek develop approaches improve...
Blood flow restricted (BFR) exercise has recently been promoted in the United States as a novel method to restore skeletal muscle strength and hypertrophy primarily athletic healthy populations. A specialized tourniquet restricts blood after which brief intermittent is performed with low moderate loads of resistance. hypertensive pressure (BP) response during BFR identified potential adverse effect, may be particularly concerning for patients who are hypertensive. Because possibility that...
Smoking has potential deleterious effects on respiratory muscle function. Smokers may present with reduced inspiratory strength and endurance. We compared performance of nonsmokers that former smokers without overt problems via the Test Incremental Respiratory Endurance.This study was performed 42 healthy subjects between ages 30 79 y (mean ± SD 56.5 14.4 y). Fourteen male 7 female were matched to based sex, age, height, weight. Subjects completed a questionnaire about their health current...
The Test of Incremental Respiratory Endurance is a novel testing method that provides unique examination one's inspiratory muscle strength, work and endurance. Little known about the relationship between performance mortality risk in obstructive lung disease. We examined measures Body-mass index, airflow Obstruction, Dyspnea Exercise index chronic pulmonary disease.In all, 70 males with mild-to-very severe disease (mean ± standard deviation 70.2 5.9 years) underwent measurements body-mass...
Background: Subjects with COPD frequently develop considerable weakness and deconditioning of the inspiratory musculature, which can be corrected muscle training (IMT). While rehabilitation centers may able to provide IMT as part rather complex management COPD, there is currently a lack services in Czech Republic. Remote then benefit subjects who are unable attend or do not have access programs. We aim at evaluating utility test incremental respiratory endurance (TIRE) an at-home method...
Abstract Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with an inflammatory response that becomes more pronounced in acute exacerbations. Considerable attention has recently focused on the value of several mediators predicting worsening COPD‐related symptoms. Whereas respiratory muscle dysfunction also widely present this population, little known about how systemic inflammation relates to inspiratory COPD. Methods Fifty‐three males mild‐to‐very severe airflow...
<b>Introduction:</b> The body mass index (BMI), airway obstruction, dyspnea, and exercise capacity (BODE) is a multidimensional grading system that considers the systemic nature of COPD predicts risk death among patients. Test Incremental Respiratory Endurance (TIRE) novel assessment inspiratory muscle performance providing sustained maximal pressure (SMIP) reflecting work. relationship between these two measures unknown. <b>Aim:</b> We examined correlation SMIP BODE in patients with COPD....
The role of inspiratory muscle performance in functional patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is poorly understood. purpose this study was to perform a longitudinal examination and from intensive care unit (ICU) discharge (ICUD) hospital (HD) symptoms at HD 1 month after COVID-19.Thirty (19 men, 11 women) COVID-19 were included. Examination ICUD performed an electronic manometer, which provided the maximal pressure (MIP) several other measures. dyspnea Modified Borg Dyspnea...
Purpose: To determine the effects of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on pulmonary gas exchange in people undergoing surgery and discuss a potential role RIPC COVID-19. Method: A search for studies examining after was performed. RevMan used statistical analyses measures A-ado 2 , Pao /Fio respiratory index (RI), a/A ratio Paco obtained earlier (i.e., 6–8 hours) later 18–24 hours). Results: Four trials were included ( N = 369 participants). Significant p < 0.05) overall observed...
To investigate the impact of post-COVID-19 infection severity on lung function, exercise tolerance, sleep parameters, and quality life. A cross-sectional study with 30 individuals (age 44.27±14.88 years; 70% women) affected by COVID-19 (23.37±3.49 months after acute infection) was divided into 3 groups: control, mild, moderate/severe. Evaluations included: submaximal aerobic capacity, respiratory muscle strength, parameters The moderate/severe group showed lower results for predicted...
