Respiratory Muscle Force, Body Position, and Sarcopenic Indices: Correlations and Clinical Implications in Older Women
The 60° semi-recumbent position optimised respiratory muscle force and cough effectiveness in older women, suggesting clinical implications for aspiration pneumonia prevention strategies. The link between respiratory and limb muscle indices possibly supported the concept of sarcopenia in respiratory muscles, suggesting its integration into approaches to pneumonia prevention and management.
