Nemaline myopathy rod myopathy

Interventions

Active IMT consists of 15 minutes of IMT, twice a day, 5 days per week for 8 weeks, at a training workload of 30% of MIP using a resistive inspiratory muscle training device. Sham IMT consists of a

Eligibility

Age
2 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: * genetically-confirmed nemaline myopathy * informed consent from participant or legal representative

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: * history of another condition that affects respiratory muscle strength or function (e.g. COPD)*

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary outcome parameter is the change in maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) after active inspiratory muscle training.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Several secondary outcome parameters: * Diaphragm ultrasound (thickness, thickening, excursion). * Pulmonary function tests (peak cough flow, forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume the first second, peak expiratory flow, vital capacity) * Respiratory muscle function tests (sniff nasal inspiratory pressure, maximal expiratory pressure, twitch mouth pressure) * Neurological examination * Maximal voluntary contraction * Rate of muscle relaxation * Mobility: Rivermead mobility index, and Community Balance and Mobility Scale * Falls: Falls efficacy scale and Falls History Questionnaire
