Download or read book Respiratory Muscle Endurance Fatigue and Training in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease written by Dimitra Nikoletou and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in the respiratory muscles in COPD originates from literature claiming that the strength and endurance of the respiratory muscles in COPD is reduced in comparison to healthy elderly subjects (HE) and that training the respiratory muscles may result in clinically significant benefits. The literature also raises the possibility that decreased diaphragmatic strength or endurance may predispose to low frequency fatigue (LFF) during increased demand, such as during exercise, which in turn may lead to the development of respiratory failure. Evidence though is scarce. -- In this thesis, we used a novel method (constant work-load, negative threshold loading) of assessing inspiratory muscle endurance (IME) in COPD patients and we compared the findings with HE subjects. We evaluated the relationships between oesophageal tension-time index (TTIoes), oesophageal pressure-time product (PTPoes) and time to task failure (TLim). In doing so, we documented the load-capacity curve for COPD patients and HE subjects. Results suggested that COPD patients had similar IME to HE subjects, as assessed by the load to capacity ratio, but TLim was significantly reduced. -- We also investigated whether LFF develops following an exhaustive threshold loading protocol (TL) and whether dynamic hyperinflation (DH) protects the diaphragm from LFF. We used bilateral anterolateral magnetic phrenic nerve stimulation (BAMPS), a non-volitional measure, to assess LFF, and related changes in transdiaphragmatic pressures to changes in inspiratory capacity (IC). The study showed that a greater proportion of COPD patients developed diaphragm LFF with TL than in previous studies and DH did not predispose or protect from diaphragm LFF.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Respiratory Muscle Training: theory and practice is the world’s first book to provide an "everything-you-need-to-know" guide to respiratory muscle training (RMT). Authored by an internationally-acclaimed expert, it is an evidence-based resource, built upon current scientific knowledge, as well as experience at the cutting-edge of respiratory training in a wide range of settings. The aim of the book is to give readers: 1) an introduction to respiratory physiology and exercise physiology, as well as training theory; 2) an understanding of how disease affects the respiratory muscles and the mechanics of breathing; 3) an insight into the disease-specific, evidence-based benefits of RMT; 4) advice on the application of RMT as a standalone treatment, and as part of a rehabilitation programme; and finally, 5) guidance on the application of functional training techniques to RMT. The book is divided into two parts – theory and practice. Part I provides readers with access to the theoretical building blocks that support practice. It explores the evidence base for RMT as well as the different methods of training respiratory muscles and their respective efficacy. Part II guides the reader through the practical implementation of the most widely validated form of RMT, namely inspiratory muscle resistance training. Finally, over 150 "Functional" RMT exercises are described, which incorporate a stability and/or postural challenge – and address specific movements that provoke dyspnoea. Respiratory Muscle Training: theory and practice is supported by a dedicated website (www.physiobreathe.com), which provides access to the latest information on RMT, as well as video clips of all exercises described in the book. Purchasers will also receive a three-month free trial of the Physiotec software platform (via www.physiotec.ca), which allows clinicians to create bespoke training programmes (including video clips) that can be printed or emailed to patients. Introductory overviews of respiratory and exercise physiology, as well as training theory Comprehensive, up-to-date review of respiratory muscle function, breathing mechanics and RMT Analysis of the interaction between disease and respiratory mechanics, as well as their independent and combined influence upon exercise tolerance Analysis of the rationale and application of RMT to over 20 clinical conditions, e.g., COPD, heart failure, obesity, mechanical ventilation Evidence-based guidance on the implementation of inspiratory muscle resistance training Over 150 functional exercises that incorporate a breathing challenge www.physiobreathe.com - access up-to-date information, video clips of exercises and a three-month free trial of Physiotec’s RMT exercise module (via www.physiotec.ca)
Download or read book Respiratory Muscles in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease written by A. Grassino and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While emphysema and chronic bronchitis are primarily lung di seases, one of their major consequences is to deeply affect the function of the respiratory muscles. Lung hyperinflation shortens the inspiratory muscles due to increased airways resistance, more of their effort is demanded and changes in nutritional status wea ken them further. Their malfunction can lead to severe dyspnea and to failure of the ventilatory pump. Over the last 10 years we have witnessed an explosion of information of how respiratory muscles function in health and disease, new techniques for their evaluation have been created, the concept of fatigue, weakness, and failure was developed, and their rest or training was attemp ted. The implication of respiratory muscles malfunction in respi ratory medicine has reached a prominent place. It seems remarkable that while some aspect of skeletal muscles function requires molecular biology techniques to find new an swers, we still know little on respiratory muscles interaction, stra tegies of coordination, their role in dyspnea, chronic hypercapnia or how to effectively improve their function in patients. This workshop was organized and held at the Medical Center of Rehabilitation in Montescano and represents an attempt to focus on how the newly adquired wealth of information can eventually be trasformed into medical care. The particpants in this workshop brought forward challenging thoughts and we are most grateful for their participation. This book represents a report of the proceedings and also provides the most updated information in this field.

Spruit and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a Ph.D. dissertation. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease state characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. The airflow limitation is usually progressive and associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of the lungs to noxious particles or gases. Clinically, it is characterized by complaints of cough, sputum production, and/or dyspnoea, and diagnosed by a significantly reduced Tiffeneau index. It was the fourth leading cause of death in the United States in 1996, exceeded only by heart attacks, cancers and stroke. Hence, COPD is a major global health problem and its burden on society is growing rapidly. For these reasons, COPD was chosen as a study population in the present project.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although diagnosis always begins with a careful history and physical examination and a physician is obligated to consider more than the diseased organ, testing of lung function has become standard practice to confirm the diagnosis, evaluate the severity of respiratory impairment, assess the therapy response and follow-up patients with various cardio-respiratory disorders. Ventilation, diffusion, blood flow and control of breathing are the major components of respiration and one or more of these functional components can be affected by any disorder. Frequently, no single pulmonary function test.

Download or read book Outcomes in COPD Patients Completing Both an Endurance Training Program and a Strength Training Program written by Katherine Shields and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Endurance and strength training may both lead to improvements in physical function and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. The few studies that have compared endurance training (ET) to strength training (ST) have produced conflicting results. PURPOSE: To compare changes in physical function, HRQL, and lean mass in COPD patients completing both an ET and ST program. METHODS: Eleven mildly diseased patients completed an ET program, and subsequently, a ST program. RESULTS: Pulmonary function remained stable over the five year period. ET and ST increased six-minute walk distance. ET, but not ST, increased self-reported physical function, chair rise time, SF-36 physical component score, and Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire (CRDQ) fatigue score. ST, but not ET, increased stair climb time. ET and ST failed to change SF-36 mental component score; CRDQ dyspnea, emotion, or mastery scores; and arm or leg lean mass. CONCLUSION: Both training methods will improve objective measures of physical function. However, an ET program results in significant improvements in self-reported physical function and HRQL, whereas ST does not.

Download or read book Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation written by C. Rampulla and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Respiratory rehabilitation can be defined as long term evaluation and therapy. This definition has evolved considerably from earlier and more restrictive attempts to delineate the discipline. Currently, respiratory rehabilitation involves evaluation techniques and treatment strategies which utilize the benefits gained from exercises, but without being limited to it. Respiratory muscle training, non-invasive mechanical ventilation, bronchodilator drugs, and metabolic balance and maintenance of nutrition are just a few of the topics covered in this book. The editors have organized the text to provide an updated review of the topic and indicate many areas in need of development and exploration in the years ahead. The information provided is easily accessible to a broad spectrum of readers, including clinicians, researchers, pharmacologists, technicians and therapists.
