Expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) is an evidence-based treatment for dysphagia, voice, and more. Read the article to learn how to do EMST speech therapy exercises with your patients!

EMST (Expiratory Muscle Strength Training) and specifically the EMST150 have been the subject of more than 70 clinical studies for a diverse set of participants, needs, and objectives. Review the Clinical Studies

The EMST150 Calibrated Expiratory Muscle Strength Trainer is clinically proven to strengthen muscles to improve breathing, cough, swallowing, and speech. The EMST150 is the most scientifically tested, clinically proven, handheld expiratory muscle strength trainer available!

Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST) is a device based exercise program that improves airway protection through strengthening of the respiratory muscles. Specifically, EMST training increases hyolaryngeal movement, resulting in improvements in breathing force, swallowing, voluntary cough production, and voice. Who uses EMST?

2021年5月25日 · This article reviews the emerging evidence that expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) is one treatment that can improve airway protection. Swallowing is an intricate process involving multiple sensorimotor responses to efficiently move food and liquid from the mouth to the stomach, while bypassing the airway/lungs.

Respiratory Muscle Strength Training (RMST) refers to both Expiratory and Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST and IMST) which is an evidenced based exercise programme for patients with weakened respiratory systems, dysphagia and dysphonia. This guideline is aimed at outpatients who have swallowing and/or voice difficulties.

EMST is a rehabilitation approach which uses a device to exercise and increase the maximal pressure of the expiratory muscles. These muscles are important for breathing out forcefully, coughing, and swallowing.

Findings from the literature, including articles on healthy participants indicate that EMST may improve, expiratory muscle function, cough function, UES opening and hyolaryngeal elevation. These improvements may increase airway protection during swallowing in a variety of dysphagia cohorts and prevent aspiration-related pulmonary complications.

2022年5月10日 · The device, paired with specific training techniques, is used as a behavioral treatment program to support individuals with respiratory muscle weakness. Clinical EMST Uses. Over the years, researchers have found EMST to be efficacious for improving maximum expiratory pressure, cough function, and even swallowing safety.

Early Management of Severe Trauma (EMST) is internationally recognised as equivalent to Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS®). The course teaches a systematic, concise approach to the care of a trauma patient, providing a safe and reliable method for immediate management of injured patients in the first one to two hours following injury.
