Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: * Willing and able to provide written informed consent, after the nature of the study has been explained, and prior to any study-related procedures * Documented diagnosis with late-onset Pompe disease based on GAA gene mutations and/or endogenous GAA activity
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: * Requires ventilatory support while awake and in the upright position. Subjects who require night time ventilator support may only enroll upon obtaining approval from the sponsor. * Concurrent disease, medical condition, or extenuating circumstance that, in the opinion of the investigator, might compromise patient wellbeing, study completion, or data collection. - subjects with a diagnosis of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema, or any other condition that may manifest with airway obstruction should be excluded, unless the subject has an FEV1/FVC ratio > 0.80 on spirometry (in another study or elsewhere) performed within 3 months in this study. * Swallowing difficulty precluding balloon catheter placement (eg, esophageal strictures) * Allergy to tools or procedures used for respiratory muscle testing * Implanted ferrous metals (eg, cardiac pacemakers) * Subjects taking medication for the treatment of obstructive lung disease (including, but not limited to, systemic or inhaled beta agonists, inhaled corticosteroids, or inhaled anticholinergic/anti-muscarinic agents) may not be enrolled in this study. * Subjects who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or unable/unwilling to use effective contraception (as evaluated by the principal investigator) for the duration of the study.
