Clinical parameters of speech therapy respiratory function from the use of inspiratory encourager

Abstract

Account of the effects of training with inspiratory incentive in healthy adults. Method: longitudinal observational Coorte study, with healthy adult volunteers in order to verify the quality and capacity of the respiratory dynamics and laryngeal efficiency from the use of inspiratory incentive airflow was conducted screening by questionnaire with  open and closed questions, breath evaluation of the then (type, method and frequency / min.), maximum phonation time (MPT), spirometry and training inspiratory supporter of Respiron® make, model Classic Middle Level - NCS through 30 inspirations (three sets of 10 repetitions) twice a day.. Results: Selected five volunteers with a mean age of 51.4 years, initially with average respiratory tract, nasal way, respiratory average frequency of 15.20 cycles / min; MPT of vowels in 17,10s of fricatives in 13,42s; average spirometry peak expiratory flow - PEF 282.13 l / min and volume expiratory flow - VEF 2:41 l. Post-training remained the type, manner and respiratory rate; there was an increase of the average members of TMF to 18,48s and fricatives to 16,65s ; PFE increased to 413.4 l / min or 24.8 l / s with significant trend (p < 0.10 ) and VEF to 2.89 l no statistical difference. Conclusion: The use of incentive provided an increase in capacity, improved quality and laryngeal efficiency.
