Research Shows EMST150 EXPIRATORY MUSCLE TRAINER Increases Expiratory Muscle Str ength Across Populations EMST150 EXPIRATORY

MUSCLE TRAINER shows increase in expiratory muscle strength a cross populations from athletes to musicians to singers and to those burdened wi th a neuromuscular disease such as Parkinson s. The research shows that training wit h the EMST150 increases expiratory muscle strength by 30-50% regardless if you a re young or old, an athlete or a couch potato or a Parkinson s patient. Boca Raton, FL, US, August 07, 2012 -- The EMST150, the most empirically studied expiratory muscle trainer globally has been exclusively licensed to Aspire Prod ucts of Boca Raton. The EMST150 has shown in a significant number of research st udies improvements in certain breathing, cough and swallowing functions from tee nagers to the elderly, to athletes, to musicians and singers. The research shows that training with the EMST150 increases expiratory muscle st rength by 30-50% regardless if you are young or old, an athlete or a couch potat o or a Parkinson s patient. The breather, developed by Dr. Paul Davenport and clinically tested with Dr. Chr istine Sapienza, both of the University of Florida, has been shown to increase c ough strength in healthy subjects and several patient groups as a direct result of EMST150 training. Increased cough strength is vital to airway protection and may include other airway protective behaviors such as swallowing. This is critic al to an aging population. Davenport and Sapienza were two of the researchers studying respiratory strength rehabilitation from the University of Florida who worked directly with Christop her Reeves in helping to get the Superman star off of his ventilator for short p eriods of time. "The EMST150 has been proven to increase exhalatory muscle force in all healthy and patients groups studied to date. By using the EMST150 and following the trai ning program, you can expect a 30% to 50% increase in your exhalatory muscle for ce. Further, training breathing muscles with the EMST150 has been shown to impro ve cough function by increasing exhalatory muscle force. The EMST150 helps to pr otect the airway during swallow by clearing the airway more effectively" said Dr . Davenport. Studies show that the breathing trainer can improve exhalation pressure in many types of neuromuscular diseases, such as Parkinson s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis. For Athletes, EMST150 training resulted in increased exhalation strength, includ ing a decrease in breathlessness. This was especially evident in swimmers, under water divers and track and field athletes. For musicians, the device increases e xhalation pressure and lung capacity. For singers, it additionally increases sou nd intensity and maximum phonation duration. Vivian Topp Klein, M.Ed., CCC-SLP and Clinical Director of the company stated: "In my 30 years as a clinician I have never worked with a device and treatment protocol as effective as the EMST150 for clients with voice, speech or swallowin g difficulties." The EMST150 is currently used globally by Speech Language Pathologists and thera pists, as well as by Athletic trainers and band members who play wind instrument s and singers looking to increase projection and endurance.
