Brief description Difficulty taking deep breaths or coughing are two of the breathing complications people with a neuromuscular disease can face. Lung volume recruitment, also known as breath-stacking, is a simple and inexpensive therapy that may help. This research will look at the short and medium-term effects of breath-stacking exercises on the breathing system. If lung volume, chest stiffness and cough effectiveness improve then symptoms, quality of life and potentially survival are likely to be better.
