PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of depending on the location of applying chest expansion resistance exercise on the respiratory muscle strength stroke patients, and to suggest more effective interventions to improve respiratory function in stroke patients in clinical practice. METHODS: A total of 30 subjects were selected and divided into two groups, and chest cage extension resistance exercise was applied to the sternum and rib cage, respectively, and performed for 4 weeks, 3 times a week, for 20 minutes. In order to compare the general characteristics of the study subjects and the homogeneity of the group, the pre-experimental values were analyzed using the independent sample t-test. Paired-sample t-test was used for pre-post value comparison of maximum inspiratory pressure and maximum expiratory pressure in each group. Statistical significance was set to .05. RESULTS: Both the sternum application group and the rib cage application group showed a significant difference in the maximum inspiratory pressure according to the intervention. Also, there was a statistically significant difference in the maximum expiratory pressure in the sternum application group. CONCLUSION: As breathing exercise is important for stroke patients, based on the results of this study, if therapists perform sternal extension resistance exercise or rib extension resistance exercise according to the patient's condition and environment, it can help the breathing function of stroke patients.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the respiratory function of patients with stroke was different on the ground and under water. Methods: We recruited 14 adults who had experienced a stroke (12 male, 2 female) for our study. We measured forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume at one second, maximum inspiratory pressure, and maximum expiratory pressure when the participants breathed on the ground and under water. On the ground, the participants were safely supported using a table and chair and were measured in a standing posture. For measuring under water, the participants were immersed in water in a standing position to clavicle height. The participants were measured while standing, and the assistant supported them when they needed help. The collected data were analyzed by a paired t-test. Results: Forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume at one second were significantly lower in water than on the ground when breathing at maximum. Maximum inspiratory pressure was not significantly different when standing on the ground or in water, but maximum expiratory pressure was significantly higher in water than on the ground. Conclusion: It has been confirmed that the hydrostatic pressure affecting stroke patients immersed in water affects the forced expiratory volume at one second while reducing the forced vital capacity and increasing the maximum expiratory pressure.

성악훈련을 받고있는 여학생들은 호흡훈련과 호흡훈련 보조기구를 이용하여 훈련을 하면서 발성연습을 하면 최대호기압과 최대흡기압이 증가하여 호흡근육의 근력이 증가하였다는 것을 알 수 있었으나 호흡기능에는 변화가 없어 호흡훈련에 의해 폐기능이 증진되지는 않는다는 결론을 얻게 되었다. 최대발성지속시간 역시 크게 증가하여 성악을 공부하는 학생들이 이 방법대로 훈련을 하는 것이 효과적이지 않을까 추정된다.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of different-sized airways of the inspiratory muscle trainer (IMT) on maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and the rating of perceived exertion, as measured by the modified Borg scale (m-Borg). Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Twenty healthy subjects (10 men, 10 women) volunteered for the study. The spirometry was used to measure MIP. The trial order of the three spirometry conditions was chosen randomly. After measuring the MIP and before taking the final break, each of the conditions were immediately measured using the m-Borg. All subjects used the IMT with an airway diameter of 5-, 6-, and 7-mm. Results: The MIP significantly decreased with the decreasing airway diameter of the IMT (p<0.001), and the differences in all three conditions (7- and 6-mm, 6- and 5-mm, and 7- and 5-mm airways) were significant (p<0.05). The RPE significantly increased with the decreasing airway diameter of the IMT (p<0.001), and the differences in all three conditions (7- and 6-mm, 6- and 5-mm, and 7- and 5-mm airways) were significant (p<0.05). Conclusions: Decreasing the airway diameter of the IMT decreased the MIP and increased the m-Borg. In regards to physical exercise within the clinical setting, the m-Borg could be a useful as a prior monitoring method to prevent dyspnea for patients with narrowed airways (blocked with secretion or sputum in pulmonary disease) and the different-sized airways of the IMT could be applied as a useful tool to improve MIP for prevention of pulmonary disease.

MIP was significantly increased in singers, compared to the untrained group. MIP in patients showed decreasing tendency compared to the untrained group, but were significantly lower than that in singers. MEP in singers was higher than that in the untrained group. MPT increased significantly in singers, but diminished in patients compared to the untrained group. MIP, MEP, and MPT in male singers were 50.8%, 61.0%, and 28.7 % higher than those in female singers. MIP, MEP, and MPT in the untrained male were more increased 32.3%, 25.0%, and 28.7%, respectively than those in the untrained female. There was no correlation between MPT and MIP or MEP. Regression analysis of the data set showed that weight and vocal cord dysfunction was a positive predictor of MPT. Factors affecting MIP were male, singers and weight. Factors affecting MEP were male, singers, vocal cord dysfunction and weight.

연구배경: 압력보조환기법은 기계호흡으로부터 이탈시 최근에 많이 이용되는 인공환기법으로 적절한 압력보조 수준이 이탈 과정에 중요하며 특히 최소압력보조 (minimal pressure support) 수준에서 환자의 환기 상태가 적절하면 치료자는 인공 호흡기로 부터 여탈 및 기관내 관을 발관할 수 있다. 그러나 부적절한 최소압력 보조 수준의 적용은 환기 이탈 기간의 장기화나 이탈 실패를 초래할 수 있다. 본 연구는 이탈기 환자들이 최소압력보조 치의 범위를 알아보고 또한 최대 흡기유량과 총환기계 저항의 곱으로 구한 최소압력보조치의 계산값과 환자의 기관내 관 끝에서 실측한 값 사이의 차이를 비교함으로써 유도식으로 계산된 최소압력 보조 값의 임상적 유용성을 예측하고자 하였다. 방 법: 기저 질환이 호전되어 기계호흡으로부터 이탈이 가능한 환자 16명을 대상으로 폐 감시기 (CP-100 pulmonary monitor, Bicore, USA)를 이용하여 부가된 호흡일을 구한 후 최소압력보조의 수준을 직접 측정하였고, 이들 중 9예에서는 또한 유도식 (peak inspiratory flow rate$\times$total ventilatory system resistance=minimal pressure support)을 이용하여 최소합력보조의 수준을 구하였다. 결 과: 대상환자 16명중 14명에서 측정한 최소압력보조의 실측치는 4~12.5 cm$H_2O$로써 환자에 따라 차이가 심하였다. 대상 환자 중 2명에서 각각 15, 21 cm$H_2O$로써 높게 측정되었으나 기관내 관을 발관 후 내강이 기도 분비물로 심한 폐쇄가 발견되었다. 실측치를 측정한 16명중 9명에서 유도식을 이용하여 최소압력 보조의 계산치를 구하였으며 실측치와 계산치의 비는 평균 0.81로 실측치 보다 높게 나타나는 경향을 보였으나 실측치와 계산치의 상관 계수는 0.88(p=0.002)로 통계학적으로 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 결 론: 압력보조환기법에 의한 이탈 시도시 최소압력보조 수준의 결정은 유도식을 이용하여 계산된 값을 적용하는 것이 치료자가 임의적으로 일정한 값을 적용하는 것보다 더 나을 것으로 사료된다.

Singing requires exquisite coordination between the respiratory and phonatory system to efficiently control glottal airflow. Respiratory function and vocal aerodynamics were investigated in six female professional sopranos and in six female subjects without vocal training. All sopranos had more than 15 years of formal classic vocal training. Pulmonary function test data on simple pulmonary function, flow volume curve, static lung volumes, maximum inspiratory pressure(MIP), and maximum expiratory pressure(MEP) were obtained from all subjects. Vocal aerodynamic studies of maximum phonation time(MPT), phonation quotient, and mean glottal flow rates (MFR) were also measured in all subjects. Simple pulmonary function in professional sopranos was generally the same as that of other female subjects without vocal training. However, MIP and MEP showing respiratory muscle forces were significantly elevated in professional sopranos, compared to those of other female subjects without vocal training. Maximum phonation times and phonation quotient in sopranos are longer than those of other female subjects even though there were no differences in simple pulmonary function. High-pitched tones were made with significantly higher mean glottal flow rates(GFR) in normal subjects than low-pitched tones, whereas no changes in GFR were found in sopranos. The result indicated that sopranos demonstrated significant improvements in aerodynamic measures of GFR, maximum phonation time, suggesting an increase in glottal efficiency.
