<b>Physiology of Respiratory Muscle Strengthening</b>
</p><p>Respiratory muscles are structurally similar to other skeletal muscles.&#x000a0;However,&#x000a0;respiratory muscles are distinct because contraction causes changes in chest wall motion during inspiration and expiration.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-161754.r1">[1]</a>&#x000a0;Similar to the musculature of the upper and lower extremities, respiratory muscles demonstrate plasticity during resistance and endurance training&#x000a0;by remodeling their cross-sectional area, muscle fiber phenotype (fast twitch, slow twitch), and threshold for activation.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-161754.r2">[2]</a>&#x000a0;Introducing respiratory muscles to resistive loads for prolonged periods and varying these loads in response to tolerance is just one way to provide progressive overload.&#x000a0;Improving respiratory muscle strength and endurance&#x000a0;enhances chest wall mechanics and lung volumes and reduces the clinical incidence of pulmonary diseases, such as pneumonia and atelectasis.&#x000a0;When respiratory muscles are progressively overloaded, their physiologic response is to hypertrophy,&#x000a0;improving contractile force.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-161754.r3">[3]</a>&#x000a0;</p><p>
<b>Definition of Respiratory Muscle Strength Training</b>
</p><p>RMST&#x000a0;is&#x000a0;employed in health care settings such as intensive care units and outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation units to improve the strength and endurance of inspiratory and expiratory muscles.&#x000a0;During RMST, patients challenge inhalation or expiration to undergo a time-limited scheduled therapy protocol that includes inspiratory muscle strength&#x000a0;(IMS) training, expiratory muscle strength&#x000a0;(EMS) training, or a combination thereof.&#x000a0;IMS training requires patients to use handheld devices to complete exercises intended to improve the strength and endurance of the inspiratory musculature, including, but not limited to, the diaphragm, external intercostal, and parasternal intercostal muscles.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-161754.r4">[4]</a>&#x000a0;EMS training requires patients to complete exercises that improve the strength and endurance of expiratory muscles, including, but not limited to, the internal intercostal and abdominal muscles.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-161754.r5">[5]</a></p><p>
<b>Respiratory Muscle Strength Training Devices and Protocols</b>
</p><p>EMS and IMS training utilize the following categories of devices: incentive spirometry (IS), pressure threshold devices, and resistance devices. Pressure threshold devices have a spring-loaded, 1-way calibrated valve&#x000a0;targeting a certain threshold of maximal pressure on muscles as the patient inhales or exhales; turning the spring increases or decreases the threshold.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-161754.r6">[6]</a>&#x000a0;The target pressure must be reached for air to flow through the device to facilitate exhalation or inspiration.&#x000a0;The resistance the device applies during inspiration or expiration is independent of the volume and rate of airflow through the device.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-161754.r7">[7]</a>&#x000a0;Resistance devices provide constant resistance to airflow.&#x000a0;Users can increase or decrease resistance by changing the number or size of the openings through which air can flow.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-161754.r8">[8]</a>&#x000a0;Incentive spirometry devices promote natural deep, slow breathing that improves lung volumes based on feedback from the device to the preset airflow during inspiration.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-161754.r9">[9]</a></p><p>Establishing the initial training load for either IMS or EMS training requires a pressure-measuring device such as a digital manometer, a peak flow meter, or a pressure threshold device.&#x000a0;Depending on the goal of the RMST protocol, exercises are initiated at a percentage of the maximum inspiratory/maximum expiratory pressure.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-161754.r10">[10]</a>&#x000a0;Strengthening protocols typically use loads between 55% and 80% of&#x000a0;this ratio with fewer repetitions.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-161754.r11">[11]</a>&#x000a0;Endurance protocols can use 30% to 40% of&#x000a0;maximum inspiratory/maximum expiratory pressure with more repetitions.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-161754.r12">[12]</a></p><p>The protocol for RMST considers&#x000a0;the clinical indication for training, underlying diagnoses, and tolerance to therapy.&#x000a0;Training sessions are typically conducted 2 to 3 times daily, 3 to 5 days per week, for a 5- to 6-week period; patients perform more than 10 repetitions per session under the guidance of a speech-language pathologist. Patients can also perform these exercises individually at home.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-161754.r13">[13]</a>&#x000a0;The training intensity can be changed by varying the number of training sessions, sets, or repetitions and the duration of sessions to promote muscle adaptation and improve respiratory muscle strength or endurance.&#x000a0;</p><p>

<b>Clinical Efficacy of Respiratory Muscle Strength Training</b>
</p><p>RMST can alleviate shortness of breath, increase exercise tolerance, and enhance the quality of life for&#x000a0;patients with respiratory conditions.&#x000a0;The clinical efficacy of RMST is evaluated&#x000a0;during rehabilitation in critically ill adults or in outpatient settings by assessing changes in maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures, lung volumes, and clinical endpoints. The role of RMST has been evaluated in several clinical conditions, including COPD, spinal cord injury, sleep apnea, asthma, various neuromuscular disorders, and exercise-induced paradoxical vocal fold motion.</p><p>An examination of the effectiveness of IMS training as a standalone intervention and in combination with pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with COPD revealed that&#x000a0;when used in conjunction with pulmonary rehabilitation, IMS training did not significantly improve dyspnea, functional exercise capacity, and quality of life compared to&#x000a0;the rehabilitation alone. However, IMS training will likely improve these outcomes when administered as a standalone treatment.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-161754.r32">[32]</a>&#x000a0;In a systematic review of randomized trials,&#x000a0;IMS training&#x000a0;substantially improved&#x000a0;maximal and&#x000a0;maximum expiratory pressure compared to control groups. These findings suggested that respiratory RMS positively impacts respiratory function and may improve clinical outcomes in patients with chronic respiratory disorders.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-161754.r33">[33]</a>&#x000a0;Furthermore, IMS training using&#x000a0;a resistive loading device can increase&#x000a0;maximum inspiratory pressure and improve weaning outcomes in patients with severe COPD who failed to wean off mechanical ventilation. In addition, this intervention improved exercise capacity in patients who have already weaned from mechanical ventilation.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-161754.r34">[34]</a></p><p>The feasibility and efficacy of RMST were assessed in individuals with impaired respiratory muscle strength&#x000a0;secondary to disorders such as spinal cord injury and obstructive sleep apnea. The results of a 3-month pilot feasibility study demonstrated that when combined with oropharyngeal exercises, RMST was feasible and improved maximum inspiratory pressure without significantly affecting&#x000a0;maximum expiratory pressure, lung function, or sleep apnea severity.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-161754.r30">[30]</a></p><p>A systematic research analysis on adults with neuromuscular disorders indicated that&#x000a0;maximum expiratory and&#x000a0;inspiratory pressures were improved following RMST compared to the control group without significantly affecting cough, dyspnea, physical capacity, or quality of life.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-161754.r35">[35]</a>&#x000a0;Another systematic review of studies on adults with mild-to-moderate asthma revealed a significant improvement in inspiratory muscle strength following an IMS training, without effect on expiratory muscle strength or lung function.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-161754.r36">[36]</a></p><p>IMS training could potentially treat athletes with paradoxical vocal fold motion induced by exercise.&#x000a0;This training has demonstrated potential benefits, such as enhanced respiratory muscle strength and increased inspiratory laryngeal aperture size. However, improving the ability of inspiratory accessory muscles to generate increased flow may not be advantageous if the laryngeal patency remains the limiting factor. Nonetheless, research has indicated that IMS training can result in laryngeal abduction in healthy individuals.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-161754.r37">[37]</a></p><p>In patients with long-term COVID-19 symptoms, the inspiratory muscle function variables demonstrated an acceptable level of discrimination in evaluating the efficacy of respiratory muscle training programs.
