Description
Smart Physio RMT
Smart Physio is a respiratory trainer/exerciser that improves lung strength and capacity by improving oxygen uptake to vital organs. It trains both inspiratory and expiratory muscles independently with the dial control features.
Smart Physio is used by patients with
Ø Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Ø Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
Ø Dysphagia, and neuromuscular disease, as well as anyone interested in healthy aging and feeling their best.
The expiratory muscles in particular have been shown to improve swallowing and cough, helping individuals with dysphagia. Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST) has been shown to activate the movement of the hyolaryngeal complex, and this improved hyolaryngeal excursion during swallowing helps to facilitate airway protection and assists in opening the upper esophagus.
Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT) in athletes and healthy individuals using Smart Physio led to improved
Ø Respiratory functions
Ø Heart rate
Peripheral muscle strength, and exercise performance.
