6 Hour Respiratory Muscle Strength Clinical Training Workshop

Join us for an exciting and informative workshop on respiratory muscle strength training! This event is hosted by Mount Carmel St.Ann’s Westerville

• This course is offered for 0.60 ASHA CEUs (Introductory level; Professional area)
• EMST150 device will be provided to each course participant

Join this in-person course to gain a comprehensive understanding of the evidence supporting Respiratory Muscle Strength Training (RMST), including its safety considerations, appropriate patient populations, troubleshooting tips, and how to implement a program at your facility. This presentation will explore the principles and clinical applications of RMST, providing insights into its theoretical foundations, outcome data, and treatment strategies for various patient groups using both inspiratory and expiratory training devices. Traditional methods for managing respiratory, swallowing, and cough impairments will be reviewed, followed by an in-depth examination of the latest research on RMST techniques. The course includes extensive hands-on demonstrations and role-playing exercises for practical learning.

Learning Outcomes

Participants will be able to:

• Identify key anatomical and physiologic components of respiratory, swallow and cough, determining the effectiveness of RMST for patient care
• Identify which patient populations respiratory muscle strength is considered effective
• Demonstrate the ability to assess key measures of respiratory muscle strength and describe how these measures relate to the development of respiratory muscle strength training protocols
• Demonstrate knowledge of available devices for respiratory muscle strength training and describe advantages & disadvantages of each, as well as applicability to specific patient groups
• To plan and implement respiratory muscle strength training protocols for patients
• Assess respiratory muscle strength training outcomes in terms of measures of respiratory muscle strength, swallow and cough
