How can patient-reported effort help guide EMST in clinical practice?

Join us for a free Aspire webinar with Dr. Avery Dakin exploring how effort ratings can be incorporated into rehabilitation exercise.
Dr. Dakin will discuss applications to EMST for cough and swallowing rehabilitation, including the physiologic adaptations of the respiratory system and submental muscles when modifying repetition load and duration.

You will have the opportunity to learn practical strategies for incorporating effort ratings into clinical practice.

We hope you’ll join us on Wednesday December 16, 2026! Register at emst150.com/events

Interesting work from Ferraro et al. (2025). This study examined MIP (Max Inspiratory Pressure) prediction equations, finding significant differences between equations and variability between predicted and measured MIP values.

The findings suggest that age, s*x, and height alone may not be sufficient to accurately predict normal MIP values, highlighting the importance of a multidimensional approach to assessment and individualized inspiratory muscle training programs.

Join us this week for a free Aspire webinar presented by Dr. Ferraro! Registration is open at emst150.com/events. (Link in bio) We hope to see you there.

The potential relationship between respiratory muscle training and cognitive function is fascinating. While the evidence is still emerging, it shows promise. We look forward to seeing more research in this area and gaining a better understanding of its potential applications across different populations.

Hear directly from researchers as they share the evidence, discuss their findings, and explore implications for clinical practice.

📅 November 4
From Breathing to Mobility: What if training the inspiratory muscles could influence the way we move?
Presented by Professor Francesco V. Ferraro, PhD

📅 December 16
What’s effort got to do with it? Applications to EMST for the practicing clinician.
Presented by Avery Dakin, PhD, CCC-SLP

Both webinars are free to attend and offer an opportunity to learn about the science directly from those conducting the research.

A randomized controlled study involving 26 adolescent female volleyball players compared the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) over four weeks.

Researchers found significant improvements over time in diaphragm thickness and maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures (MIP and MEP) in both groups, with no significant differences between interventions.

Neither intervention produced significant changes in diaphragm stiffness or respiratory muscle endurance.

These findings suggest that both IMT and EMST, when combined with regular sports training, may support respiratory muscle strength and structural adaptations in adolescent athletes. Larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.

What if inspiratory muscle training could play a bigger role in rehabilitation than we traditionally think?

Join Professor Francesco Ferraro for an exciting look at the evolving evidence connecting inspiratory muscle training with balance, gait, functional mobility, and prehabilitation.

Drawing on more than a decade of research, he’ll explore the science, clinical applications, and opportunities for integrating respiratory muscle training into rehabilitation and preoperative care.

Discover where the evidence is leading and what it could mean for the future of rehabilitation.

Open to all disciplines!
