Journal ArticleDOI
Reference equations for the six-minute walk distance based on a Brazilian multicenter study
Raquel Rodrigues Britto,Vanessa S. Probst,Armèle Dornelas de Andrade,Giane Amorim Ribeiro Samora,Nidia A. Hernandes,Patrícia Érika de Melo Marinho,Marlus Karsten,Fabio Pitta,Verônica Franco Parreira +8 more
TL;DR: The equations proposed in this study, especially the second one, seem adequate to accurately predict the 6MWD for Brazilians.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inspiratory muscular activation during threshold® therapy in elderly healthy and patients with COPD
A. Dornelas de Andrade,T.N.S. Silva,H. Vasconcelos,M. Marcelino,M.G. Rodrigues-Machado,V. C. Galindo Filho,N.H. Moraes,Patrícia Érika de Melo Marinho,César Ferreira Amorim +8 more
TL;DR: To overcome the load required by Threshold therapy, COPD patients demonstrated an increase of accessory muscles activity, represented by SMM, for the same relative load this increase seems to be proportional to the degree of pulmonary obstruction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nebulization associated with Bi-level noninvasive ventilation: Analysis of pulmonary radioaerosol deposition
Eduardo Eriko Tenório de França,Armèle Dornelas de Andrade,Geovanna Cabral,Paulo Almeida Filho,Kamary Coriolano Lins da Silva,Valdecir C. Galindo Filho,Patrícia Érika de Melo Marinho,Andrea Lemos,Verônica Franco Parreira +8 more
TL;DR: During nebulization with noninvasive ventilation in healthy volunteers, there was an increase in V(t) associated to a higher inspiratory flow rate, without resulting in a significant increase in pulmonary radioaerosol deposition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole-body vibration improves functional capacity and quality of life in patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): a pilot study
Donato da Silva Braz Junior,Armèle Dornelas de Andrade,Andrei Luiz Sales Teixeira,Cléssyo Tavares de A. Cavalcanti,André Terácio B. de Morais,Patrícia Érika de Melo Marinho +5 more
TL;DR: Preliminary results suggest that WBV may potentially be a safe and feasible way to improve functional capacity in the 6MWT of patients with COPD undergoing a training program on the vibrating platform as well as in all domains of the SGRQ quality of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inspiratory muscle training improves respiratory muscle strength, functional capacity and quality of life in patients with chronic kidney disease: a systematic review.
Ana Irene Carlos de Medeiros,Helen Kerlen Bastos Fuzari,Catarina Rattesa,Daniella Cunha Brandão,Patrícia Érika de Melo Marinho +4 more
TL;DR: In patients with chronic renal failure on dialysis, inspiratory muscle training with a fixed load significantly improves respiratory muscle strength, functional capacity, lung function and quality of life.
