Evaluation of Respiratory Muscle Activation Using Respiratory Motor Control Assessment (RMCA) in Individuals with Chronic Spinal Cord Injury

During breathing, activation of respiratory muscles is coordinated by integrated input from the brain, brainstem, and spinal cord. When this coordination ...

Pulmonary complications associated with persistent respiratory muscle weakness, paralysis, and spasticity are among the most important problems faced by patients with spinal cord injury when lack of muscle strength and disorganization of reciprocal respiratory muscle control lead to breathing insufficiency. This review describes the mechanisms of the respiratory motor control and its change in individuals with spinal cord injury, methods by which respiratory function is measured, and rehabilitative treatment used to restore respiratory function in those who have experienced such injury.

Respiratory Motor Control Disrupted by Spinal Cord Injury: Mechanisms, Evaluation, and Restoration.

Complications pulmonaires associ&eacute;es &agrave; une faiblesse persistante musculaire respiratoire, paralysie et spasticit&eacute; sont parmi les plus importants probl&egrave;mes auxquels font face les patients atteints de l&eacute;sion m&eacute;dullaire o&ugrave; manque de force musculaire et de la d&eacute;sorganisation du c&acirc;ble de commande des muscles respiratoires r&eacute;ciproque &agrave; l&#39;insuffisance de la respiration. Cette revue d&eacute;crit les m&eacute;canismes de la motricit&eacute; respiratoire et son changement chez les personnes atteintes de la moelle &eacute;pini&egrave;re, les m&eacute;thodes par lesquelles la fonction respiratoire est mesur&eacute;e et r&eacute;adaptation traitement utilis&eacute; pour restaurer la fonction respiratoire chez les personnes qui ont subi des blessures.

Complicanze polmonari associate a debolezza muscolare persistente delle vie respiratorie, paralisi e spasticit&agrave; sono tra i pi&ugrave; importanti problemi affrontati dai pazienti con lesioni del midollo spinale quando la mancanza di forza muscolare e la disorganizzazione del cavo di controllo reciproco muscoli respiratori per insufficienza di respirazione. Questa review descrive i meccanismi di controllo motore respiratorio e relativo cambiamento nei soggetti con lesioni del midollo spinale, metodi con cui &egrave; misurata la funzione respiratoria e trattamento riabilitativo utilizzato per ripristinare la funzione respiratoria in coloro che hanno sperimentato tale pregiudizio.
