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
Respiratory pressures and thoracoabdominal motion in community-dwelling chronic stroke survivors.
Luci Fuscaldi Teixeira-Salmela,Verônica Franco Parreira,Raquel Rodrigues Britto,Tereza Cristina Silva Brant,Érika P. Inácio,Thais O. Alcântara,Ivana F. Carvalho +6 more
TL;DR: It can be hypothesized that the association of specific respiratory training could optimize the gains associated with cardiovascular training in stroke survivors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inspiratory Muscular Training in Chronic Stroke Survivors: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Raquel Rodrigues Britto,Natália Ribeiro Rezende,Keila C. Marinho,Juliana Lustosa Torres,Verônica Franco Parreira,Luci Fuscaldi Teixeira-Salmela +5 more
TL;DR: Significant short-term effects of the IMT program for inspiratory strength and endurance were observed in chronic stroke survivors, and some indications that IMT may benefit people with stroke are given.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pressões respiratórias máximas: valores encontrados e preditos em indivíduos saudáveis
Verônica Franco Parreira,Danielle C. França,Camila C. Zampa,M. M. Fonseca,G. M. Tomich,Raquel Rodrigues Britto +5 more
TL;DR: Considering that concordance between actual and predicted values requires the lack of difference and the existence of correlation between them, the equations proposed by Neder et al. 3 were not successful in predicting MIP and MEP values in the population studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reference Values for Maximal Inspiratory Pressure: A Systematic Review
Isabela M. B. S. Pessoa,Verônica Franco Parreira,Guilherme Fregonezi,A. William Sheel,Frank Chung,W. Darlene Reid +5 more
TL;DR: The present meta-analysis provides normative MIP values that are reflective of a large sample and likely represents the broadest representation of participant characteristics compared with previous reports of normative data.
