Summary

The previous pilot study showed that two weeks of intensive expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) with SpiroGym was sufficient to significantly improve voluntary peak cough flow (PCF). The improvement was quantitatively comparable to that reported in other intensive EMST studies of longer duration. To explain this rapid improvement, we considered the potential contribution of SpiroGym's visual feedback. We assumed that real-time visual feedback increased training effort compared with conventional EMST performed without immediate feedback. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of visual feedback provided by the SpiroGym mobile application on performance during expiratory muscle strength training in patients with Parkinson's disease.
