Population: Persons diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ( )

Purpose of the study: “To assess for sustainability of cough effectiveness, decrease rapid decline of FVC (forced vital capacity) and for any decrease in the risk of leading to complications.” (Shah et al. 2023, p. 3950797)

Device used: EMST75 Lite

Conclusion: “EMSTs can help increase strength and endurance of oropharyngeal muscles including diaphragm and abdominal muscles leading to improved swallow function and decreased risk of aspiration. Regular use of the EMST can also result in sustained cough and decrease in rapid decline of FVC in patients diagnosed with ALS.” (Shah et al., 2023, p. 3950797)

The EMST150 and the EMST 75 Lite are both calibrated, pressure threshold expiratory muscle training devices. The main difference is the pressure threshold range. While the EMST150 ranges from about 30 cm H2O to 150 cm H2O, the EMST 75 Lite ranges from 0 cm H2O to 75 cm H2O making it ideal for people who may not be able to train at the higher pressures.
Some things to consider when making a decision (If you don’t have access to a manometer for testing MEP) are:
Age
Weight
S*x
Cough Strength
Progressive Diseases
