Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the utility of clinical assessment of respiratory
muscle weakness in MS. Patients and methods: We studied 40 MS patients who performed …

Background. In patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), there is a decline in muscle strength
and physical capacity due to demyelination and axonal loss in the central nervous system. In …

Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) show a poor exercise tolerance. A reduction in
respiratory muscle strength has also been reported. The purpose of this study was to …

This study aimed to determine the relationship between pulmonary function, respiratory
muscle function and neurological function in multiple sclerosis (MS). Sixty patients (27 males …

OBJECTIVES: Pulmonary complications in severe multiple sclerosis (MS) are often seen
secondary to respiratory muscle dysfunction. The development of respiratory muscle …

Purpose: This article examines the association between measures of respiratory muscle
function and fatigue in individuals with mild-to-moderate disability multiple sclerosis (MS) …

• Pulmonary function was studied in 25 patients with clinically definite multiple sclerosis with
a range of motor impairment. Forced vital capacity (FVC), maximal voluntary ventilation …

In 11 patients with moderately severe multiple sclerosis, lasting 11.2±7.3 years, in stable
condition, and in 10 age-and sex-matched control subjects, we investigated lung function …
