Abstract

Introduction: Dysphagia is common among individuals with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). Expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) is a treatment used to increase expiratory muscle force production for airway protection deficits. To our knowledge, no studies have tested EMST in this population. The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility of EMST in individuals with PSP.

Methods: Twenty-nine participants completed baseline measures of maximum expiratory pressure and underwent a trial session of EMST. EMST was considered feasible if participants were able to complete at least 10 repetitions at 30% of their maximum expiratory pressure. Qualitative analyses were also completed to investigate types and frequency of clinician support.

Results: Twenty-seven participants (93%) successfully met the criteria for feasibility of EMST. Qualitative analysis revealed 20 individuals required clinician support with most requiring more than one type of assistance.

Conclusions: EMST appears to be feasible for most people with PSP though additional clinician support is often required.

进行性核上性麻痹患者呼气肌力训练的可行性。

吞咽困难在进行性核上性麻痹（PSP）患者中很常见。呼气肌力训练（EMST）是一种用于增加呼气肌力产生气道保护缺陷的治疗方法。据我们所知，没有研究在这一人群中测试过EMST。本研究的目的是确定EMST在PSP患者中的可行性。方法：29名参与者完成了最大呼气压的基线测量，并进行了EMST试验。如果参与者能够以最大呼气压的30%完成至少10次重复，则认为EMST是可行的。对临床医生支持的类型和频率也进行了定性分析。结果：27例（93%）成功达到EMST可行性标准。定性分析显示，20人需要临床医生的支持，其中大多数人需要一种以上的帮助。结论：EMST似乎对大多数PSP患者是可行的，尽管通常需要额外的临床医生支持。
