Respiratory Muscle Strength and Function in Patients With Neuromuscular Disease

The purpose of this study is to determine if inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) will
impact maximal inspiratory pressure and pulmonary function in patients with neuromuscular
disease.

Subjects undergo a 12-week period of inspiratory muscle strength training. Respiratory
strength is assessed before and after the training period.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Confirmed diagnosis of neuromuscular disease

- Clinical evidence of impaired pulmonary function

Exclusion Criteria:

- Above or below age range

- No clinical evidence of impaired pulmonary function

- No diagnosis of a neuromusuclar disease

- Presence of an acute illness at time of study

- Participating in other research studies involving investigational drugs

- Diagnosis of a primary pulmonary disease

- Use of tobacco products
