Abstract
Inspiratory muscle dysfunction is an important cause of dyspnea, disability, and ventilatory failure. Detailed knowledge of respiratory muscle function can be useful for bedside diagnosis of ventilatory disorders. Recent research has suggested new ways to examine the respiratory system and newer concepts of therapy of the inspiratory muscles.Keywords
