Abstract

Objective. To evaluate the benefits of a respiratory physiotherapy pro­gram (RPP) in respiratory muscle strength in individuals with Down syndrome. Method. It was an interventional study with seven volun­teers of both genders with a mean age of 24.57 years. The RPP con­sisted of resisted diaphragmatic and abdominal exercise for a month, three times a week. For measurement of inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength before and after the RPP, the manometer was used to record the Maximal Inspiratory Pressure (MIP) and Maximal Ex­piratory Pressure (MEP). For data analysis, we used the BioEstat 5.3. Data normality was verified by the Shapiro-Wilk test was employed the Student t test for two related samples. The level of significance was p<0.05. Results. Comparing the values of maximal respiratory pres­sures before and after RPP, we can observe a significant difference in the measurements of MIP (p=0.0487). The MEP measures were not statistically significant different (p=0.3559). Conclusion. The RPP promoted improvement in muscle strength in individuals with Down syndrome.
