Future Directions for Respiratory Muscle Training in Neuromuscular Disorders: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Respiratory muscle training (RMT) aims to improve inspiratory and/or expiratory muscle function in neuromuscular disorders (NMDs). A comprehensive overview of the available literature is lacking. This scoping review explores methodological characteristics, (adverse) effects, and adherence of RMT studies in NMDs. Moreover, it identifies limitations and research gaps in the literature and provides future research directions.

Summary

Eligible studies were identified using MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases. Three reviewers independently selected articles. Inclusion criteria were English language, original research articles on RMT using a device, patients with an NMD, and pulmonary fun
