About this trial

In the sponsor's words

In patients with neuromuscular disease, chest mobilization by hyperinsufflation slows respiratory decline by almost 80% compared to controls, and prevents complications like pneumonia, atelectasis and respiratory distress. This insufflation technique improves the airway clearance and reduces the need for invasive ventilation. It also improves CV and DEPtoux in patients with neuromuscular pathology
