2021 Respiratory Muscle Strength Training Advanced Clinical Workshop

3599 University Boulevard, South,Jacksonville FL 32216

10 July, 2021

Description

This course will review empirically-driven approaches for both inspiratory & expiratory muscle strength training in a wide range of groups. Course Objectives: Participants will 1. Understand effectiveness of RMST for patient care. 2. Identify key anatomical and physiologic components of respiratory, swallow and cough. 3. Identify which patient populations respiratory muscle strength is considered effective. 4. Demonstrate the ability to assess key measures of respiratory muscle strength and describe how these measures relate to the development of respiratory muscle strength training protocols. 5. Demonstrate knowledge of available devices for respiratory muscle strength training and describe advantages & disadvantages of each, as well as applicability to specific patient groups. 6. Demonstrate the ability to plan and implement respiratory muscle strength training protocols for patients. 7. Demonstrate the ability to assess respiratory muscle strength training outcomes in terms of measures of respiratory muscle strength, swallow and cough.
