Abstract
Aim Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) improves respiratory muscle function and exercise tolerance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the detailed mechanism is unclear. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the mechanism of functional improvement by IMT from P0.1, an index of respiratory central output, and thickness of diaphragm (Tdi), a noninvasive and reliable ultrasound examination. Methods This clinical trial study enrolled 13 elderly patients with COPD. IMT was performed using the POWER breathe® Medic Plus breathing trainer in combination with each participant's outpatient rehabilitation regimen. Starting at 20% of the maximal inspiratory pressure (PImax) and increasing to 50%, the participants performed 30 IMT repetitions twice a day for 2 months. P0.1 is the value of airway-occlusion pressure at 0.1 s after the start of inspiratory flow, and Tdi was measured at rest and maximal breathing. Results PImax and 6-min walking distance(6MWD) significantly increased after training. Tdi at resting inspiration and expiration, and maximal inspiration also significantly increased after training. In addition, the Borg Scale scores for dyspnea and leg fatigue and the respiratory rate of the 1-min recovery period after the 6MWD significantly decreased. There was no significant difference in P0.1. Conclusions These results suggest that the effects of IMT may be attributed to the improved peripheral factors rather than to the central factors in elderly COPD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) aims to improve respiratory muscle strength and endurance. Clinical trials used various training protocols, devices and respiratory measurements to check the effectiveness of this intervention. The current guidelines reported a possible advantage of IMT, particularly in people with respiratory muscle weakness. However, it remains unclear to what extent IMT is clinically beneficial, especially when associated with pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). OBJECTIVES: To assess the effect of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as a stand-alone intervention and when combined with pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Airways trials register, CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) EBSCO, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) ClinicalTrials.gov, and the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform on 20 October 2021. We also checked reference lists of all primary studies and review articles. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared IMT in combination with PR versus PR alone and IMT versus control/sham. We included different types of IMT irrespective of the mode of delivery. We excluded trials that used resistive devices without controlling the breathing pattern or a training load of less than 30% of maximal inspiratory pressure (PImax), or both. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We used standard methods recommended by Cochrane including assessment of risk of bias with RoB 2. Our primary outcomes were dyspnea, functional exercise capacity and health-related quality of life. MAIN RESULTS: We included 55 RCTs in this review. Both IMT and PR protocols varied significantly across the trials, especially in training duration, loads, devices, number/ frequency of sessions and the PR programs. Only eight trials were at low risk of bias. PR+IMT versus PR We included 22 trials (1446 participants) in this comparison. Based on a minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of -1 unit, we did not find an improvement in dyspnea assessed with the Borg scale at submaximal exercise capacity (mean difference (MD) 0.19, 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.42 to 0.79; 2 RCTs, 202 participants; moderate-certainty evidence). We also found no improvement in dyspnea assessed with themodified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (mMRC) according to an MCID between -0.5 and -1 unit (MD -0.12, 95% CI -0.39 to 0.14; 2 RCTs, 204 participants; very low-certainty evidence). Pooling evidence for the 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) showed an increase of 5.95 meters (95% CI -5.73 to 17.63; 12 RCTs, 1199 participants; very low-certainty evidence) and failed to reach the MCID of 26 meters. In subgroup analysis, we divided the RCTs according to the training duration and mean baseline PImax. The test for subgroup differences was not significant. Trials at low risk of bias (n = 3) demonstrated a larger effect estimate than the overall. The summary effect of the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) revealed an overall total score below the MCID of 4 units (MD 0.13, 95% CI -0.93 to 1.20; 7 RCTs, 908 participants; low-certainty evidence). The summary effect of COPD Assessment Test (CAT) did not show an improvement in the HRQoL (MD 0.13, 95% CI -0.80 to 1.06; 2 RCTs, 657 participants; very low-certainty evidence), according to an MCID of -1.6 units. Pooling the RCTs that reported PImax showed an increase of 11.46 cmH2O (95% CI 7.42 to 15.50; 17 RCTs, 1329 participants; moderate-certainty evidence) but failed to reach the MCID of 17.2 cmH2O. In subgroup analysis, we did not find a difference between different training durations and between studies judged with and without respiratory muscle weakness. One abstract reported some adverse effects that were considered "minor and self-limited". IMT versus control/sham Thirty-seven RCTs with 1021 participants contributed to our second comparison. There was a trend towards an improvement when Borg was calculated at submaximal exercise capacity (MD -0.94, 95% CI -1.36 to -0.51; 6 RCTs, 144 participants; very low-certainty evidence). Only one trial was at a low risk of bias. Eight studies (nine arms) used the Baseline Dyspnea Index - Transition Dyspnea Index (BDI-TDI). Based on an MCID of +1 unit, they showed an improvement only with the 'total score' of the TDI (MD 2.98, 95% CI 2.07 to 3.89; 8 RCTs, 238 participants; very low-certainty evidence). We did not find a difference between studies classified as with and without respiratory muscle weakness. Only one trial was at low risk of bias. Four studies reported the mMRC, revealing a possible improvement in dyspnea in the IMT group (MD -0.59, 95% CI -0.76 to -0.43; 4 RCTs, 150 participants; low-certainty evidence). Two trials were at low risk of bias. Compared to control/sham, the MD in the 6MWD following IMT was 35.71 (95% CI 25.68 to 45.74; 16 RCTs, 501 participants; moderate-certainty evidence). Two studies were at low risk of bias. In subgroup analysis, we did not find a difference between different training durations and between studies judged with and without respiratory muscle weakness. Six studies reported theSGRQ total score, showing a larger effect in the IMT group (MD -3.85, 95% CI -8.18 to 0.48; 6 RCTs, 182 participants; very low-certainty evidence). The lower limit of the 95% CI exceeded the MCID of -4 units. Only one study was at low risk of bias. There was an improvement in life quality with CAT (MD -2.97, 95% CI -3.85 to -2.10; 2 RCTs, 86 participants; moderate-certainty evidence). One trial was at low risk of bias. Thirty-two RCTs reported PImax, showing an improvement without reaching the MCID (MD 14.57 cmH2O, 95% CI 9.85 to 19.29; 32 RCTs, 916 participants; low-certainty evidence). In subgroup analysis, we did not find a difference between different training durations and between studies judged with and without respiratory muscle weakness. None of the included RCTs reported adverse events. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS IMT may not improve dyspnea, functional exercise capacity and life quality when associated with PR. However, IMT is likely to improve these outcomes when provided alone. For both interventions, a larger effect in participants with respiratory muscle weakness and with longer training durations is still to be confirmed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Fatigue is defined as loss of capacity to develop muscle force and/or velocity that is reversible at rest. We assessed non-invasively the fatigue and recovery of inspiratory rib cage muscles during two respiratory endurance tests in healthy individuals. METHODS The sniff nasal inspiratory pressure (SNIP) was assessed before and after two respiratory endurance tests: normocapnic hyperpnea (NH) and inspiratory pressure threshold loading (IPTL). Contractile (maximum rate of pressure development and time to peak pressure) and relaxation parameters (maximum relaxation rate [MRR], time constant of pressure decay [τ], and half relaxation time) obtained from sniff curves and shortening velocity and mechanical power estimated using optoelectronic plethysmography were analyzed during SNIP maneuvers. Respiratory muscle activity (electromyography) and tissue oxygenation (near-infrared spectroscopy-NIRS) were obtained during endurance tests and SNIP maneuvers. Fatigue development of inspiratory rib cage muscles was assessed according to the slope of decay of median frequency. RESULTS Peak pressure during SNIP decreased after both protocols (p <0.05). MRR, shortening velocity, and mechanical power decreased (p <0.05), whereas τ increased after IPTL (p <0.05). The median frequency of inspiratory rib cage muscles (i.e., sum of sternocleidomastoid, scalene, and parasternal) decreased linearly during IPTL and exponentially during NH, mainly due to the sternocleidomastoid. CONCLUSION Fatigue development behaved differently between protocols and relaxation properties (MRR and τ), shortening velocity, and mechanical power changed only in the IPTL.

Lee CT, Chien JY, Hsu MJ, Wu HD, Wang LY. Inspiratory muscle activation during inspiratory muscle training in patients with COPD. Respir Med 2021; 190:106676. [PMID: 34773734 DOI: 10.1016/j.rmed.2021.106676] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2021] [Revised: 10/07/2021] [Accepted: 10/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/08/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The main target of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) is to improve diaphragm function in patients with COPD who have inspiratory muscle weakness. Ventilatory demand is already increased during quiet breathing in patients with COPD, and whether threshold load imposed by IMT would active more accessory muscle remained to be determined. The purpose of this study was to examine diaphragm and sternocleidomastoid (SCM) activation during IMT with intensities of 30% and 50% maximal inspiratory pressure (PImax). METHODS Patients with COPD and a PImax lower than 60 cmH2O were recruited for the study. Surface electromyography (EMG) was used to measure diaphragm and SCM activation, and group-based trajectory modeling (GBTM) was used to identify activation patterns during IMT. The generalized estimating equation (GEE) was then used to detect differences of variables between various breathing tasks. Statistical significance was established at p < 0.05. RESULTS A total of 30 patients with COPD participated in this study. All patients demonstrated significant increases in diaphragm and SCM activation during 30% and 50% PImax of IMT than during quiet breathing (all p < 0.001). Diaphragm demonstrated two distinct patterns in response to IMT: low activation (n = 8) and high activation (n = 22) group using GBTM analysis. CONCLUSION Diaphragm and SCM were substantially activated during IMT in patients with COPD who had inspiratory muscle weakness. Regardless of whether diaphragm activation was high or low, SCM was activated to a greater extent in response to IMT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: While respiratory and core-postural stabilisation has recently gained a widespread acceptance to improve pulmonary function and dyspena, the therapeutic effects of and rationale underlying the use of respiratory and core-postural stabilisation in the management of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have not been investigated. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare the effects of abdominal breathing and respiratory and core-postural stabilisation on diaphragmatic movement and pulmonary function. METHODS: Fourteen patients with moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were randomly assigned to either the respiratory and core-postural stabilisation or abdominal breathing group. All patients underwent fluoroscopy-guided chest X-ray imaging and pulmonary function tests before and after the interventions; the modified Medical Research Council questionnaire was also administered before and after the interventions. Six sessions of either intervention were consistently provided. The obtained data were assessed using independent t-tests and Wilcoxon signed-rank test with a significance threshold of P< 0.05. RESULTS: Respiratory and core-postural stabilisation was more effective in increasing diaphragmatic movements than abdominal breathing (P< 0.05). Pulmonary function tests revealed more significant differences in the forced vital capacity (FVC(%)predicted) only after respiratory and core-postural stabilisation (P= 0.004). The Medical Research Council questionnaire score was significantly different within the Respiratory and core-postural stabilisation group (P= 0.014). CONCLUSIONS: Our novel results suggest that the effects of respiratory and core-postural stabilisation breathing on diaphragmatic movement and pulmonary function were superior to those of abdominal breathing in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to compare muscle activation of the diaphragm (DIA), scalenes (SA), parasternal intercostals (PS), and sternomastoid (SM) during submaximal intermittent neck flexion (INF) versus submaximal inspiratory threshold loading (ITL) until task failure in healthy adults. METHODS Twelve healthy adults performed submaximal ITL or INF tests in random order for 2 d. Surface electromyography was monitored to acquire root mean square (RMS) and median power frequency (MPF) from the SA, PS, SM, and DIA. Maximal inspiratory pressures and maximal voluntary contraction for neck flexion were determined. Next, participants performed the first submaximal test-ITL or INF-targeting 50% ± 5% of the maximal inspiratory pressure or maximal voluntary contraction, respectively, until task failure. After a rest, they performed the other test until task failure. Two days later, they performed ITL and INF but in the opposite order. The Borg scale assessed breathlessness and perceived exertion. RESULTS Endurance times for ITL and INF were 38.1 and 26.3 min, respectively. INF activated three of four inspiratory muscles at higher average RMS (PS, SM, and SA) and at different MPF (PS, SM, and DIA but not SA) compared with ITL. During ITL, RMS did not change in the four inspiratory muscles over time, but MPF decreased in PS, SM, and SA (P < 0.04). In contrast, RMS increased in three of four inspiratory muscles (SM, PS, and SA) during INF, but MPF did not change throughout its duration. Borg rating was 3.9-fold greater than ITL compared with INF. CONCLUSION At a similar percentage of maximal load, INF evokes greater activation of primary muscles of inspiration (PS and SA) and a major accessory muscle of inspiration (SM) compared with ITL during a prolonged submaximal protocol.

Abstract
Surface electromyography (sEMG) can be used for the evaluation of respiratory muscle activity. Recording sEMG involves the use of surface electrodes in a bipolar configuration. However, electrocardiographic (ECG) interference and electrode orientation represent considerable drawbacks to bipolar acquisition. As an alternative, concentric ring electrodes (CREs) can be used for sEMG acquisition and offer great potential for the evaluation of respiratory muscle activity due to their enhanced spatial resolution and simple placement protocol, which does not depend on muscle fiber orientation. The aim of this work was to analyze the performance of CREs during respiratory sEMG acquisitions. Respiratory muscle sEMG was applied to the diaphragm and sternocleidomastoid muscles using a bipolar and a CRE configuration. Thirty-two subjects underwent four inspiratory load spontaneous breathing tests which was repeated after interchanging the electrode positions. We calculated parameters such as (1) spectral power and (2) median frequency during inspiration, and power ratios of inspiratory sEMG without ECG in relation to (3) basal sEMG without ECG (Rins/noise), (4) basal sEMG with ECG (Rins/cardio) and (5) expiratory sEMG without ECG (Rins/exp). Spectral power, Rins/noise and Rins/cardio increased with the inspiratory load. Significantly higher values (p < 0.05) of Rins/cardio and significantly higher median frequencies were obtained for CREs. Rins/noise and Rins/exp were higher for the bipolar configuration only in diaphragm sEMG recordings, whereas no significant differences were found in the sternocleidomastoid recordings. Our results suggest that the evaluation of respiratory muscle activity by means of sEMG can benefit from the remarkably reduced influence of cardiac activity, the enhanced detection of the shift in frequency content and the axial isotropy of CREs which facilitates its placement.

Jambassi Filho, JC, Gurjão, ALD, Prado, AKG, Gallo, LH, and Gobbi, S. Acute effects of different rest intervals between sets of resistance exercise on neuromuscular fatigue in trained older women. J Strength Cond Res 34(8): 2235-2240, 2020-The aim of this study was to investigate the acute effect of different rest intervals (RIs) between sets on total volume, time under tension, maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), and integrated electromyography (iEMG) activity of the vastus lateralis (VL) and vastus medialis (VM) muscles. Twenty-one resistance-trained older women (66.4 ± 4.4 years; 69.1 ± 11.4 kg; 157.5 ± 5.0 cm) completed 3 different test sessions, performed 48-72 hours apart, in a randomized and counterbalanced within-subjects design. In 2 test sessions, the participants performed 3 sets to voluntary exhaustion with loads that corresponded to 15 maximum repetitions, with either 1-minute RI (RI-1) or 3-minute RI (RI-3). In another test session, the participants remained at rest for 15 minutes. The total volume of exercise and time under tension for the RI-3 session was statistically higher (p ≤ 0.05) than the RI-1 session. Postexercise MVC for the RI-3 session showed significantly greater reductions (-7.8%; p ≤ 0.05) compared with the RI-1 and control sessions. No significant changes in postexercise iEMG activity of the VL and VM were shown for any of the sessions (all p > 0.05). The findings of this study suggest that different RIs between sets lead to different acute neuromuscular responses. The longer RI seemed to induce higher neuromuscular fatigue, likely due to higher total volume and time under tension. Thus, longer RI may be a strategy that possibly would lead to greater long-term gains in muscle strength and hypertrophy of the lower limbs in trained older women.

[PMID: 32739461 DOI: 10.1016/j.resp.2020.103509] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2020] [Revised: 07/26/2020] [Accepted: 07/27/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
The activity of the trapezius muscle is reportedly higher than that of other neck accessory muscles under a condition of increased inspiratory pressure in the standing position. The present study aimed to compare the activity of the trapezius muscle with those of the scalene and sternocleidomastoid muscles under a condition of increased inspiratory pressure in the supine position. This study included 40 subjects, and the muscle activity was measured using surface electromyography. Regarding the results, there was a significant difference in the muscle activity between the trapezius muscle and the scalene and sternocleidomastoid muscles (p = 0.003) in both men and women. Post-hoc analysis showed significant differences between trapezius and the other muscles. Moreover, there was no difference between the scalene and sternocleidomastoid muscles (p = 0.596). The increase in the change in electromyography activity of the muscle is greater in the trapezius muscle than in other muscles when the level of inspiratory pressure increases in the supine position.

Physiol Rep 2020; 8:e14522. [PMID: 32726513 PMCID: PMC7389984 DOI: 10.14814/phy2.14522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2020] [Accepted: 07/05/2020] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine scalene (SA) and sternocleidomastoid (SM) activation during normoxic (norm-ITL; FIO2 = 21%) and hypoxic (hyp-ITL; FIO2 = 15%) incremental inspiratory threshold loading (ITL). Thirteen healthy participants (33 ± 4 years, 9 female) performed two ITL tests breathing randomly assigned gas mixtures through an inspiratory loading device where the load was increased every two minutes until task failure. SA and SM root mean square (RMS) electromyography (EMG) were calculated and expressed as a percentage of maximum (RMS%max ) to reflect muscle activation intensity. Myoelectric manifestations of fatigue were characterized as decreased SA or SM EMG median frequency during maximum inspiratory pressure maneuvers before and after ITL. Dyspnea was recorded at baseline and task failure. Ventilatory parameters and mouth pressure (Pm) were recorded throughout the ITL. SA,RMS%max and SM,RMS%max increased in association with ITL load (p ≤ .01 for both). SA,RMS%max was similar between norm-ITL and hyp-ITL (p = .17), whereas SM,RMS%max was greater during the latter (p = .001). Neither SA nor SM had a decrease in EMG median frequency after ITL (p = .75 and 0.69 respectively). Pm increased in association with ITL load (p < .001) and tended to be higher during hyp-ITL compared to norm-ITL (p = .05). Dyspnea was similar during both conditions (p > .05). There was a trend for higher tidal volumes during hyp-ITL compared to norm-ITL (p = .10). Minute ventilation was similar between both conditions (p = .23). RMS,%max of the SA and SM increased linearly with increasing ITL. The presence of hypoxia only increased SM activation. Neither SA nor SM presented myoelectric manifestations of fatigue during both conditions.

Abstract
Objective: To assess thoraco-abdominal kinematics, respiratory muscle strength and electromyographic activity of the diaphragm (EAdi) in moderate-severe allergic rhinitis (AR) patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 40 individuals (20 in the AR group) and 20 in the control group [CG]) was conducted. Ventilatory pattern and chest wall volume distribution (optoelectronic plethysmography), respiratory muscle strength (manovacuometry and sniff nasal inspiratory pressure [SNIP]), and EAdi were assessed in both groups. Results: The AR patients had impaired thoraco-abdominal kinematics (reduced total chest wall volume) (p = 0.004), lower values of total respiratory cycle time (p = 0.014) and expiratory time (p = 0.006). They also presented an increase of percentage contribution of the abdominal rib cage (p = 0.475) and respiratory rate (p = 0.019). A positive correlation among pulmonary rib cage tidal volume and MIP (r = 0.544; p < 0.001), SNIP (r = 0.615; p < 0.001), and MEP (r = 0.604; p < 0.001) was observed. After adjusting for age, BMI and gender through multivariate analysis, the individuals with AR presented lower values of MIP (β = -24.341; p < 0.001), MEP (β = -0.277; p < 0.001), SNIP (β = -34.687; p < 0.001) and RMS (β = -0.041; p = 0.017). Conclusions: The individuals with moderate-severe persistent AR had worse respiratory muscle strength, diaphragm activation and chest wall volume distribution with a higher abdominal contribution to tidal volume than the control group. These findings reinforce the notion that the upper and lower airways work in an integrated and synergistic manner.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Electromyography (EMG) helps to evaluate disorders and pulmonary behavior, as impairments in respiratory muscle function are associated with the development of diseases. There is a wide range of methods and protocols used to record and analyze EMG obtained from respiratory muscles, demonstrating a lack of standardization. OBJECTIVE To identify the most common procedures used to record surface EMG (sEMG) of inspiratory muscles in adults and elderly individuals through a systematic review (primary), and to evaluate the quality of the report presented by the studies (secondary). METHOD Studies published from January 1995 until June 2018 were searched for in the Web of Science, PubMed, LILACS, EBSCO and Embase databases. Only studies evaluating sEMG of inspiratory muscles were included. RESULTS The electronic search retrieved a total of 6697 titles and 92 of them were included. A great variability on the methods applied to both recording and processing/analyzing data was found. Therefore, the synthesis of practical/clinical evidence to support immediate recommendations was impaired. In general, the descriptions presented by the studies are poor. CONCLUSION The most common procedures used for sEMG were identified. Methodological studies with objective comparisons were fundamental for improving standardization, given the impossibility of recommendations from this review.

Abstract
The use of wearable devices in clinical routines could reduce healthcare costs and improve the quality of assessment in patients with chronic respiratory diseases. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the capacity of a Shimmer3 wearable device to extract reliable cardiorespiratory parameters from surface diaphragm electromyography (EMGdi). Twenty healthy volunteers underwent an incremental load respiratory test whilst EMGdi was recorded with a Shimmer3 wearable device (EMGdiW). Simultaneously, a second EMGdi (EMGdiL), inspiratory mouth pressure (Pmouth) and lead-I electrocardiogram (ECG) were recorded via a standard wired laboratory acquisition system. Different cardiorespiratory parameters were extracted from both EMGdiW and EMGdiL signals: heart rate, respiratory rate, respiratory muscle activity, and mean frequency of EMGdi signals. Alongside these, similar parameters were also extracted from reference signals (Pmouth and ECG). High correlations were found between the data extracted from the EMGdiW and the reference signal data: heart rate (R = 0.947), respiratory rate (R = 0.940), respiratory muscle activity (R = 0.877), and mean frequency (R = 0.895). Moreover, similar increments in EMGdiW and EMGdiL activity were observed when Pmouth was raised, enabling the study of respiratory muscle activation. In summary, the Shimmer3 device is a promising and cost-effective solution for the ambulatory monitoring of respiratory muscle function in chronic respiratory diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) programs are important in the treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but vary widely in type, duration, and efficacy. This meta-analysis investigated the effect of PR programs on respiratory muscle strength in patients with COPD. METHODS PubMed, Embase, and CINAHL were searched. The primary outcome variables were maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) and maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP). The secondary outcome variables were the modified Borg score after the 6-min walking test, percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1%pred), and percent FEV1/forced volume capacity (FVC). Comprehensive Meta-Analysis, version 3.0, was used to analyze the data. The effect size was calculated using the standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS Twenty randomized controlled trials (with 992 participants) were included in the analysis. The PR programs had a significant effect on the MEP (SMD, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.42-1.32; p < .001), MIP (SMD, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.13-0.93; p = .009), and modified Borg score (SMD, -0.37; 95% CI, -0.52 to -0.22; p < .001) in patients with COPD. There was no effect on FEV1%pred (SMD, 0.09; 95% CI, -0.12 to 0.30; p = .406) or FEV1/FVC% (SMD, 0.04; 95% CI, -0.17 to 0.26; p = .702). CONCLUSION PR programs improve respiratory muscle strength in patients with COPD. Strategies for selecting a suitable PR program need to be developed, and future studies should evaluate the long-term effects of such programs on pulmonary function.

Abstract
Postural changes induce changes in chest wall kinematics and eventually pulmonary function, and affect chest wall shape and chest motion. This study aimed to examine the effects of postural change on changes in the chest wall during respiratory muscle training. Using a repeated measures design, this study followed 13 healthy adults (13 men; mean age, 23.73 years). All participants performed four postures (neutral, full trunk rotation, half-range trunk rotation, and lateral ribcage shift postures) during respiratory muscle training. The chest wall movement during the four postures was measured using a three-dimensional motion-analysis system during respiratory muscle training. Surface electromyography data were collected from the diaphragm and sternocleidomastoid muscles, and the asymmetric ratio of muscle activation was calculated based on the collected data. The chest wall movements of the upper costal and middle costal region were greater in the neutral posture than in the full rotation, half rotation, and lateral ribcage shift postures (P<0.05). The respiratory muscle activation on diaphragm of left was greater in the full rotation posture than in the neutral posture, half rotation, and lateral ribcage shift postures (P<0.05). The asymmetric ratio of muscle activation was greater in the full rotation posture than in the neutral posture, half rotation, and lateral ribcage shift postures (P<0.05). This study verified that postural change during respiratory muscle training may affect chest wall movement and muscle activation. Thus, this study recommends respiratory muscle training to be performed in neutral posture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Berardinelli-Seip Congenital Generalized Lipodystrophy (BSCL) is an ultra-rare metabolic disease characterized by hypertriglyceridemia, hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, hypoleptinemia, and diabetes mellitus. Although cardiovascular disturbances have been observed in BSCL patients, there are no studies regarding the Respiratory Muscle Strength (RMS) in this type of lipodystrophy. This study aimed to evaluate RMS in BSCL subjects compared with healthy subjects. METHODS Eleven individuals with BSCL and 11 healthy subjects matched for age and gender were included in this study. The Maximum Inspiratory Pressure (MIP), Maximum Expiratory Pressure (MEP), and Peripheral Muscle Strength (PMS) were measured for three consecutive years. BSCL subjects were compared to healthy individuals for MIP, MEP, and PMS. Correlations between PMS and MIP were also analyzed. The genetic diagnosis was performed, and sociodemographic and anthropometric data were also collected. RESULTS BSCL subjects showed significantly lower values for MIP and MEP (p < 0.0001 and p = 0.0002, respectively) in comparison to healthy subjects, but no changes in handgrip strength (p = 0.15). Additionally, we did not observe changes in MIP, MEP, and PMS two years after the first analysis, showing maintenance of respiratory dysfunction in BSCL subjects (p = 0.05; p = 0.45; p = 0.99). PMS and MIP were not correlated in these subjects (r = 0.56; p = 0.18). CONCLUSION BSCL subjects showed lower respiratory muscle strength when compared with healthy subjects; however, PMS was not altered. These findings were maintained at similar levels during the two years of evaluation. Our data reveal the first association of BSCL with the development of respiratory muscle weakness.

Abstract
The aim of this systematic review was to examine procedures used and outcome measures reported from surface EMG (sEMG) of extradiaphragm inspiratory muscles in healthy people. Relevant articles were searched using the concepts "electromyography (EMG)", "respiratory muscles (sternocleidomastoid [SM], scalene, intercostal [IC] and parasternal)" and "healthy" in the electronic databases: MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane CENTRAL and Database of Systematic Reviews, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, LILACS, and PEDro. Twenty-five papers were included and quality assessment was performed using an adapted Downs and Black checklist. Twenty-eight percent of included papers were classified as moderate quality and the rest were low quality. The SM was the muscle most often investigated. Description of EMG techniques were often incomplete for features such as the procedure before electrode placement, description of the surface electrodes, the EMG detection mode and amplification. Of note, descriptions of the IC muscle electrode positioning varied widely. Comparison of outcomes among studies was challenging because of the very diverse EMG outcomes reported. There are many controversies regarding methods and technique used to assess sEMG of extradiaphragm inspiratory muscles. Therefore, studies with higher methodological quality utilizing standardized EMG procedures including electrode positioning will enable accurate and reliable comparison among studies of the extradiaphragm inspiratory muscles.

Abstract
[Purpose] This study aims to analyze the effect that moderate to severe chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has on the respiratory synergist muscles. The results
will provide basic data that can be used in the clinical management of COPD. [Subjects and
Methods] The subjects in the study were 47 male patients with COPD between 55 and 70 years
old who were treated in a medical institution located in Jeollanam-do Province, South
Korea, from October 2015 to December 2016. Measurements were analyzed to determine the
correlation between the diaphragm thickness and the respiratory synergist muscle activity
in patients with mild COPD. [Results] The results showed that there was a negative
correlation between the diaphragm thickness and the sternocleidomastoid muscle and between
the diaphragm thickness and the scalene muscle; however, there was a positive correlation
between the diaphragm thickness and the external intercostal. For patients with severe
COPD, negative correlations were found between the diaphragm thickness and the
sternocleidomastoid muscle and between the diaphragm thickness and the scalene muscle.
[Conclusion] The mechanical deformation of the thoracic cage caused by severe COPD reduces
the lung capacity of patients and, thus, increases the difficulty in breathing. As the
disease worsens, the patients tend to maintain ventilation using the respiratory synergist
muscles. Thus, offering early and aggressive treatment and a respiration rehabilitation
program to patients with COPD can help to reduce the actions of the respiratory synergist
muscles to ensure normal breathing.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate changes in oxygenated (O2Hb), deoxygenated (HHb), and total hemoglobin (tHb) of the sternocleidomastoid (SCM), parasternal (PS), biceps (BC), and tibialis anterior (TA) using near-infrared spectroscopy during incremental loading of the inspiratory muscles and the elbow flexors in people with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. METHODS Fifteen participants with obstructive pulmonary disease were recruited in a repeated-measures crossover design. Near-infrared spectroscopy optodes were applied over the SCM, PS, BC, and TA to measure O2Hb, HHb, and tHb. Participants were randomly assigned to perform incremental inspiratory threshold loading or elbow flexor loading that imposed higher loads every 2 minutes until task failure. At least 1 week later, participants performed the other test. Arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) was monitored continuously. RESULTS O2Hb of the main agonist muscles, SCM and BC, decreased compared with the other muscles during inspiratory threshold loading and elbow flexor loading, respectively. SCM O2Hb and BC O2Hb decreased at higher loads compared with baseline. SCM tHb and HHb increased, whereas TA tHb decreased during inspiratory threshold loading. tHb did not change among any muscles during elbow flexor loading. SpO2 did not change from baseline to task failure. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that the SCM was recruited progressively during incremental inspiratory threshold loading; however, O2Hb was not maintained in this muscle. Similarly, O2Hb was not maintained in the biceps during elbow flexor loading. This regional deoxygenation in SCM and BC during incremental loading protocols was not reflected by a decrease in SpO2.

Abstract
It is unknown which respiratory muscles are mainly activated by respiratory muscle training. This study evaluated Inspiratory Pressure Threshold Loading (IPTL), Inspiratory Flow Resistive Loading (IFRL) and Voluntary Isocapnic Hyperpnea (VIH) with regard to electromyographic (EMG) activation of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM), parasternal muscles (PARA) and the diaphragm (DIA) in randomized order. Surface EMG were analyzed at the end of each training session and normalized using the peak EMG recorded during maximum inspiratory maneuvers (Sniff nasal pressure: SnPna, maximal inspiratory mouth occlusion pressure: PImax). 41 healthy participants were included. Maximal activation was achieved for SCM by SnPna; the PImax activated predominantly PARA and DIA. Activations of SCM and PARA were higher in IPTL and VIH than for IFRL (p<0.05). DIA was higher applying IPTL compared to IFRL or VIH (p<0.05). IPTL, IFRL and VIH differ in activation of inspiratory respiratory muscles. Whereas all methods mainly stimulate accessory respiratory muscles, diaphragm activation was predominant in IPTL.

[Purpose] The present study investigated effects of diaphragm breathing exercise and
feedback breathing exercise on respiratory function. [Subjects and Methods] Thirty-one
subjects were randomly assigned to two groups; the feedback breathing exercise group and
the maneuver-diaphragm exercise group. The feedback breathing exercise group was asked to
breathe with feedback breathing device, and the maneuver-diaphragm exercise group was
asked to perform diaphragm respiration. Respiratory function was evaluated when a subject
sat on a chair comfortably. [Results] There was a significant difference in the functional
vital capacity and slow vital capacity before and after all breathing exercises. There was
a significant between-group difference in functional vital capacity. However, no
between-group difference was found in slow vital capacity. [Conclusion] Diaphragm

Abstract
Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the immediate effect of manual therapy (MT) on respiratory functions and inspiratory muscle strength in patients with COPD. Participants and methods Thirty patients with severe COPD (eight females and 22 males; mean age 62.4±6.8 years) referred to pulmonary physiotherapy were included in this study. The patients participated in a single session of MT to measure the short-term effects. The lung function was measured using a portable spirometer. An electronic pressure transducer was used to measure respiratory muscle strength. Heart rate, breathing frequency, and oxygen saturation were measured with a pulse oximeter. For fatigue and dyspnea perception, the modified Borg rating of perceived exertion scale was used. All measurements were taken before and immediately after the first MT session. The ease-of-breathing visual analog scale was used for rating patients’ symptoms subjectively during the MT session. Results There was a significant improvement in the forced expiratory volume in the first second, forced vital capacity, and vital capacity values (P<0.05). The maximal inspiratory pressure and maximal expiratory pressure values increased significantly after MT, compared to the pre-MT session (P<0.05). There was a significant decrease in heart rate, respiratory rate (P<0.05), and dyspnea and fatigue perception (P<0.05). Conclusion A single MT session immediately improved pulmonary function, inspiratory muscle strength, and oxygen saturation and reduced dyspnea, fatigue, and heart and respiratory rates in patients with severe COPD. MT should be added to pulmonary rehabilitation treatment as a new alternative that is fast acting and motivating in patients with COPD.

Abstract
AIM To compare the effect of breathing type on the activity of respiratory muscles at different body positions. METHODOLOGY Two groups of 20 subjects each, one with upper costal and the other with costodiaphragmatic breathing, were studied. Electromyographic activity of sternocleidomastoid (SCM), diaphragm (DIA), external intercostal (EIC), and latissimus dorsi (LAT) muscles was recorded at standing and lateral decubitus positions during swallowing and maximal voluntary clenching. RESULTS All muscles showed higher activity during standing in upper costal breathing subjects except the SCM muscle. EIC activity was higher during standing in the costodiaphragmatic breathing group. Subjects with upper costal breathing showed higher DIA activity than subjects with costodiaphragmatic breathing at both body positions and higher SCM activity at lateral decubitus position, whereas, EIC activity was only higher during swallowing. CONCLUSIONS Subjects with upper costal breathing presented higher respiratory effort than subjects with costodiaphragmatic breathing, being most prominent at the lateral decubitus position.

Abstract
[Purpose] This study aimed to determine the effects of different intensities of
inspiratory muscle training on the relative respiratory muscle activity in healthy adults.
[Subjects and Methods] Thirteen healthy male volunteers were instructed to perform
inspiratory muscle training (0%, 40%, 60%, and 80% maximal inspiratory pressure) on the
basis of their individual intensities. The inspiratory muscle training was performed in
random order of intensities. Surface electromyography data were collected from the
right-side diaphragm, external intercostal, and sternocleidomastoid, and pulmonary
functions (forced expiratory volume in 1 s, forced vital capacity, and their ratio; peak
expiratory flow; and maximal inspiratory pressure) were measured. [Results] Comparison of
the relative activity of the diaphragm showed significant differences between the 60% and
80% maximal inspiratory pressure intensities and baseline during inspiratory muscle
training. Furthermore, significant differences were found in sternocleidomastoid relative
activity between the 60% and 80% maximal inspiratory pressure intensities and baseline
during inspiratory muscle training. [Conclusion] During inspiratory muscle training in the
clinic, the patients were assisted (verbally or through feedback) by therapists to avoid
overactivation of their accessory muscles (sternocleidomastoid). This study recommends
that inspiratory muscle training be performed at an accurate and appropriate intensity
through the practice of proper deep breathing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pompe disease is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by the deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme acid α-glucosidase. This deficiency leads to glycogen accumulation in the lysosomes of muscle tissue causing progressive muscular weakness particularly of the respiratory system. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) has demonstrated efficacy in slowing down disease progression in infants. Despite the large number of studies describing the effects of physical training in juvenile and adult late onset Pompe disease (LOPD). There are very few reports that analyze the benefits of respiratory muscle rehabilitation or training. METHODS The effectiveness of respiratory muscle training was investigated using a specific appliance with adjustable resistance (Threshold). The primary endpoint was effect on respiratory muscular strength by measurements of MIP and MEP. Eight late-onset Pompe patients (aged 13 to 58 years; 4 female, 4 male) with respiratory muscle deficiency on functional respiratory tests were studied. All patients received ERT at the dosage of 20 mg/kg/every 2 weeks and underwent training with Threshold at specified pressures for 24 months. RESULTS A significant increase in MIP was observed during the follow-up of 24 month: 39.6 cm H2O (+ 25.0%) at month 3; 39.5 cm H2O (+ 24.9%) at month 6; 39.1 cm H2O (+ 23.7%) at month 9; 37.3 cm H2O (+ 18.2%) at month 12; and 37.3 cm H2O (+ 17.8%) at month 24. Median MEP values also showed a significant increase during the first 9 months: 29.8 cm H2O, (+ 14.3%) at month 3; 31.0 cm H2O (+ 18.6) at month 6; and 29.5 cm H2O (+ 12.9) at month 9. MEP was then shown to be decreased at months 12 and 24; median MEP was 27.2 cm H2O (+ 4.3%) at 12 months and 26.6 cm H2O (+ 1.9%) at 24 months. The FVC remain stable throughout the study. CONCLUSION An increase in respiratory muscular strength was demonstrated with Threshold training when used in combination with ERT.

Abstract
Diaphragm electromyography is a valuable technique for the recording of electrical activity of the diaphragm. The analysis of diaphragm electromyographic (EMGdi) signal amplitude is an alternative approach for the quantification of the neural respiratory drive (NRD). The EMGdi signal is, however, corrupted by electrocardiographic (ECG) activity, and this presence of cardiac activity can make the EMGdi interpretation more difficult. Traditionally, the EMGdi amplitude has been estimated using the average rectified value (ARV) and the root mean square (RMS). In this study, surface EMGdi signals were analyzed using the fixed sample entropy (fSampEn) algorithm, and compared to the traditional ARV and RMS methods. The fSampEn is calculated using a tolerance value fixed and independent of the standard deviation of the analysis window. Thus, this method quantifies the amplitude of the complex components of stochastic signals (such as EMGdi), and being less affected by changes in amplitude due to less complex components (such as ECG). The proposed method was tested in synthetic and recorded EMGdi signals. fSampEn was less sensitive to the effect of cardiac activity on EMGdi signals with different levels of NRD than ARV and RMS amplitude parameters. The mean and standard deviation of the Pearson's correlation values between inspiratory mouth pressure (an indirect measure of the respiratory muscle activity) and fSampEn, ARV, and RMS parameters, estimated in the recorded EMGdi signal at tidal volume (without inspiratory load), were 0.38±0.12, 0.27±0.11 , and 0.11±0.13, respectively. Whereas at 33 cmH2O (maximum inspiratory load) were 0.83±0.02, 0.76±0.07, and 0.61±0.19 , respectively. Our findings suggest that the proposed method may improve the evaluation of NRD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The institutionalized elderly with functional impairment show a greater decline in respiratory muscle (RM) function. The aims of the study are to evaluate outcomes and costs of RM training using Pranayama in institutionalized elderly people with functional impairment. MATERIAL AND METHODS A randomized controlled trial was conducted on institutionalized elderly people with walking limitation (n=54). The intervention consisted of 6 weeks of Pranayama RM training (5 times/week). The outcomes were measured at 4 time points, and were related to RM function: the maximum respiratory pressures and the maximum voluntary ventilation. Perceived satisfaction in the experimental group (EG) was assessed by means of an ad hoc questionnaire. Direct and indirect costs were estimated from the social perspective. RESULTS The GE showed a significant improvement related with strength (maximum respiratory pressures) and endurance (maximum voluntary ventilation) of RM. Moreover, 92% of the EG reported a high satisfaction. The total social costs, direct and indirect, amounted to Euro 21,678. CONCLUSIONS This evaluation reveals that RM function improvement is significant, that intervention is well tolerated and appreciated by patients, and the intervention costs are moderate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Diaphragmatic breathing (DB) is widely used in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) of
patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), however it has been
little studied in the scientific literature. The Pilates breathing (PB) method has
also been used in the rehabilitation area and has been little studied in the
scientific literature and in COPD. OBJECTIVES: To compare ventilatory parameters during DB and PB in COPD patients and healthy
adults. METHOD: Fifteen COPD patients (COPD group) and fifteen healthy patients (healthy group)
performed three types of respiration: natural breathing (NB), DB, and PB, with the
respiratory pattern being analyzed by respiratory inductive plethysmography. The
parameters of time, volume, and thoracoabdominal coordination were evaluated.
After the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, ANOVA was applied followed by Tukey's test
(intragroup analysis) and Student's t-test (intergroup analysis; p<0.05). RESULTS: DB promoted increase in respiratory volumes, times, and SpO2 as well
as decrease in respiratory rate in both groups. PB increased respiratory volumes
in healthy group, with no additional benefits of respiratory pattern in the COPD
group. With respect to thoracoabdominal coordination, both groups presented higher
asynchrony during DB, with a greater increase in the healthy group. CONCLUSIONS: DB showed positive effects such as increase in lung volumes, respiratory motion,
and SpO2 and reduction in respiratory rate. Although there were no
changes in volume and time measurements during PB in COPD, this breathing pattern
increased volumes in the healthy subjects and increased oxygenation in both
groups. In this context, the acute benefits of DB are emphasized as a supporting
treatment in respiratory rehabilitation programs.

Abstract
The analysis of the electromyographic signal of the diaphragm muscle (EMGdi) can provide important information for evaluating the respiratory muscular function. The EMGdi can be recorded using surface Ag/AgCl disc electrodes in monopolar or bipolar configuration. However, these non-invasive EMGdi recordings are usually contaminated by the electrocardiographic (ECG) signal. EMGdi signal can also be noninvasively recorded using concentric ring electrodes in bipolar configuration (CRE) that estimate Laplacian surface potential. Laplacian recordings increase spatial resolution and attenuate distant bioelectric interferences, such as the ECG. Thus, the objective of this work is to compare and to evaluate CRE and traditional bipolar EMGdi recordings in a healthy subject during a dynamic inspiratory maneuver with incremental inspiratory loads. In the conducted study, it was calculated the cumulative percentage of power spectrum of EMGdi recordings to determine the signal bandwidth, and the power ratio between the EMGdi signal segments with and without cardiac activity. The results of this study suggest that EMGdi acquired with CRE electrodes is less affected by the ECG interference, achieves a wider bandwidth and a higher power ratio between segments without cardiac activity and with cardiac activity.

Abstract
The present study investigated the acute effects of static stretching on peak force, peak rate of force development and integrated electromyography (iEMG) in 27 older women (65 ± 4 years; 69 ± 9 kg; 157 ± 1 cm; 28 ± 4 kg · m(-2)). The participants were tested during two exercises (leg press and knee extension) after two conditions: stretching and control. The data were collected on four days (counterbalanced with a 24-hour rest period). In the stretching condition, the quadriceps muscle was stretched (knee flexion) for three sets of 30 s with 30 s rest intervals. No significant difference was detected for peak force and peak rate of force development during the single- and multiple-joint exercises, regardless of the following interactions: condition (stretching and control) vs. time (pre x post x 10 x 20 x 30 minutes post; P > 0.05) and exercise vs. time (P > 0.05). Additionally, no significant interaction was found for the iEMG activity (condition vs. time; P > 0.05) in the single- and multiple-joint exercises. In conclusion, a small amount of stretching of an agonist muscle (quadriceps) did not affect the peak force, peak rate of force development and EMG activity in older women during single- and multiple-joint exercises.

Abstract
OBJETIVOS: avaliar a atividade dos músculos escalenos e esternocleidomastóideo (ETMD) no período basal e durante manobra de pressão inspiratória máxima (PImax) em crianças asmáticas. MÉTODOS: foram estudadas 15 crianças, divididas em grupo asma (n=8) e grupo controle (n=7). Foi realizada a análise da função pulmonar e da PImax através da espirometria e da manovacuometria, respectivamente. A atividade mioelétrica dos músculos escaleno e ETMD foram realizadas pela eletromiografia de superfície durante período basal e manobra de PImax. RESULTADOS: a eletromiografia de superfície (EMGs) basal do músculo escaleno é maior no grupo asma quando comparado ao grupo controle. Diferentemente, a EMGs basal do músculo ETMD não apresentou diferença significativa nos grupos estudados. O percentual da EMGs dos músculos escaleno e ETMD durante manobra de PImax foi maior no grupo asma quando comparado ao grupo controle. CONCLUSÕES: EMGs do escaleno durante o período basal está aumentada em crianças asmáticas. A atividade eletromiográfica do músculo ETMD no período basal é similar em ambos os grupos estudados. A EMGs dos músculos ETMD e escaleno na geração de pressão intratorácica, durante a manobra de PImax, está aumentada em crianças asmáticas.

Abstract
We analyzed the effect of an 8-week strength training (ST) program on the rate of force development (RFD) and electromyographic activity (EMG) in older women. Seventeen women (M age = 63.4 years, SD = 4.9) without previous ST experience were randomly assigned to either a control (n=7) or training (n=10) group. A leg-press isometric test was used for assessment. ST (three sessions/ week, three sets of 10-12 repetition maximum, five different exercises) induced significant increases (p < .05) on peak RPD (48.4%) and on RFD) and EMG of vastus medialis at time intervals of 0-50, 0-100, 0-150, and 0-200 ms (41.1-69.2% and 43.8-64.3%, respectively). Therefore, ST resulted in favorable changes in neuromuscular responses in older women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of a diaphragmatic breathing training program (DBTP) on thoracoabdominal motion and functional capacity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. DESIGN A prospective, randomized controlled trial. SETTING Academic medical center. PARTICIPANTS Subjects (N=30; forced expiratory volume in 1s, 42%±13% predicted) were randomly allocated to either a training group (TG) or a control group (CG). INTERVENTIONS Subjects in the TG completed a 4-week supervised DBTP (3 individualized weekly sessions), while those in the CG received their usual care. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Effectiveness was assessed by amplitude of the rib cage to abdominal motion ratio (RC/ABD ratio) (primary outcome) and diaphragmatic mobility (secondary outcome). The RC/ABD ratio was measured using respiratory inductive plethysmography during voluntary diaphragmatic breathing and natural breathing. Diaphragmatic mobility was measured by ultrasonography. A 6-minute walk test and health-related quality of life were also evaluated. RESULTS Immediately after the 4-week DBTP, the TG showed a greater abdominal motion during natural breathing quantified by a reduction in the RC/ABD ratio when compared with the CG (F=8.66; P<.001). Abdominal motion during voluntary diaphragmatic breathing after the intervention was also greater in the TG than in the CG (F=4.11; P<.05). The TG showed greater diaphragmatic mobility after the 4-week DBTP than did the CG (F=15.08; P<.001). An improvement in the 6-minute walk test and in health-related quality of life was also observed in the TG. CONCLUSIONS DBTP for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease induced increased diaphragm participation during natural breathing, resulting in an improvement in functional capacity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This quantification process is made through electromyography analysis. This technique of analysis is able to provide a general view of the tension decrease in the superior muscle fibers of the trapezius after therapy. AIMS The focus of the present work is to evaluate the treatment of the cervicobrachialgia by Positional Release Therapy (PRT). MATERIAL AND METHODS The present work studies six patients, with ages 44 to 63 (1 male and 5 female) who present tension in the trapezius upper portion fibers. All patients were submitted to 10 session of 30 minutes each. The electromyography was collected on the first and tenth day of treatment. RESULTS The results demonstrated a progressive decrease of pain in each session. The tension was evaluated by the electromyography analysis, which showed the relations between time of treatment and less pain. CONCLUSION With these results, it was possible to verify quantitatively the efficiency of the PRT in the improvement of life quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND DATA Studies have shown the significant effects of electromagnetic irradiation in the visible region, with laser as an irradiation source. However, the effect of LEDs (light-emitting diodes) irradiation in similar wavelengths is not known. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this clinical study was to verify the effects of the LED (640 nm with 40 nm full bandwidth at half maximum) on muscle activity. METHODS The study was done with 30 test subjects, of both genders, aged 23 ± 3 years, with a mean weight of 60 kg, divided into three groups (n = 10). Fatigue was induced through the maximum power of a bite, for 60 s in two overlaid occlusal platforms, coupled to a load cell and to a biologic signal-acquisition device. LED irradiation of the right masseter muscle was applied to all subjects. The left muscle received placebo treatment. Irradiation was applied in eight points on the right masseter muscle (transcutaneous), 1.044 J per point, 2.088 J per point, or 3.132 J per point, 0.116 W, 0.522 cm(2) spot size, 0.816 cm spot Ø, continuous wave, perpendicular to the skin. RESULTS An increase in muscle activity was observed after irradiation with 1.044 J per point (p < 0.05). A significant increase (p < 0.01) in the time before fatigue was observed in the irradiated muscle with 2.088 J per point, without a change in the force of contraction (p > 0.05). This change was not observed with 1.044 J per point and 3.132 J per point. The results suggest a dose-dependent relation with this kind of noncoherent irradiation in the red region of the electromagnetic spectrum in the muscle-fatigue process. CONCLUSION It was concluded that LED can be used as a clinical tool to increase muscle activity (1.044 J per point) and to prevent fatigue (2.088 J per point), without change in the muscle force.

Abstract
The effects of occlusal splint on the electric activity of masseter were studied in 15 women who presented sleep bruxism using surface electromyography. Sleep bruxism was defined by its clinical characteristics. The signal acquisition was done during mandible occlusion without clenching and maximum voluntary contraction in two situations. The first was after a workday without using the occlusal splint; and the second, after a sleeping night using occlusal splints. Evaluating masseter muscles during mandible occlusion without clenching, it could be observed that lower values were noticed after splint wearing in both sides. The same results were verified in maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). These results confirmed that the use of occlusal splints reduced the electromyographic activity of the right and left masseters, showing its myorelaxing effect.
