Cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord injury causes impairments in respiratory muscle
performance, leading to variable degrees of pulmonary dysfunction and rendering deep …

Objective. To investigate the pulmonary function responses to respiratory muscle training
(RMT) in individuals with tetraplegia and provide a systematic review of the included studies …

Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) often lead to impairment of the respiratory system and,
consequently, restrictive respiratory changes. Paresis or paralysis of the respiratory muscles …

Objective: To investigate the time-courses of lung function and respiratory muscle pressure
generating capacity after spinal cord injury. Design: Multi-centre, prospective cohort study …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of a locomotor training (LT)
combined rehabilitation program with a rehabilitation-only program on pulmonary function in …

Study design Retrospective cohort study. Objectives To investigate the effect of training
intensity and-volume on improvements in respiratory muscle strength in individuals with …

Objective: To investigate the effects of respiratory muscle training (RMT) combined with the
abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM) on the pulmonary function in patients with chronic …

When lesions in the spinal cord occur, the neural activation of respiratory muscles is
compromised (De Troyer and Heilporn, 1980, De Troyer et al., 1986, De Troyer et al., 1990 …

This study investigated the effects of controlled breathing techniques and ventilatory and
upper extremity muscle exercise on cardiopulmonary and metabolic functions and exercise …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) often leads to an impairment of the respiratory system. The more
rostral the level of injury, the more likely the injury will affect ventilation. In fact, respiratory …
