Lung Volume Recruitment in Neuromuscular Disease: Can "breath-stacking" improve lung function, respiratory symptoms and quality of life in people with neuromuscular disorders?

深呼吸困难或咳嗽是神经肌肉疾病患者可能面临的两种呼吸并发症。肺容量增加，也被称为呼吸堆积，是一种简单而廉价的治疗方法。这项研究将着眼于呼吸叠加练习对呼吸系统的短期和中期影响。如果肺容量、胸部僵硬和咳嗽效果得到改善，那么生活质量和潜在的生存可能会更好。

Difficulty taking deep breaths or coughing are two of the breathing complications people with a neuromuscular disease can face. Lung volume recruitment, also known as breath-stacking, is a simple and inexpensive therapy that may help. This research will look at the short and medium-term effects of breath-stacking exercises on the breathing system. If lung volume, chest stiffness and cough effectiveness improve then symptoms, quality of life and potentially survival are likely to be better.
