Introduction: Hemodialysis (HD) patients have altered pulmonary function and this is associated with impaired endothelial function and cardiovascular events. Respiratory muscle training (RMT) has the potential to improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients undergoing maintenance HD. Here, we evaluated the e ff ects of RMT on endothelium/glycocalyx, oxidative stress biomarkers and pulmonary function test in HD p...
Respiratory muscle training (RMT) has been inserted in the integral care for patients with chronic renal disease (CKD) who were submitted to hemodialysis (HD) aiming to improve their pulmonary and physical condition. The study evaluated the RMT effects on respiratory muscle strength (RMS) and lung function (LF) in individuals with CKD submitted to HD. A pilot and longitudinal study was performed with 16 patient...
Background: Although diaphragmatic myofascial release techniques are widely used in clinical practice, few studies have evaluated the simultaneous acute effects of these techniques on the respiratory and musculoskeletal systems. Objective: To evaluate the immediate effects of diaphragmatic myofascial release in sedentary women on the posterior chain muscle flexibility; lumbar spine range of motion; respiratory ...
