Unveiling the Respiratory Muscle Strength in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: The Impact of Nutrition and Thoracic Deformities, Beyond Spirometry
To accurately assess respiratory muscle strength, supine FVC should be combined with upright FVC, MIP, MEP, and SNIP measurements. It is crucial to regularly screen patients for nutrition, as this can significantly affect respiratory muscle function during pulmonology follow-up.
