Ventilation efficiency and pulmonary function after a wheelchair interval-training program in subjects with recent spinal cord injury. To study the effect of a wheelchair interval-training program on the ventilatory function of subjects with recent spinal cord injury (SCI). Evaluation trial before and after a training program. Center of reeducation and university hospital. Six subjects (5 men, 1 woman) hospitalized after a recent SCI. On a wheelchair ergometer, subjects with SCI performed 30 minutes of interval training 3 times a week for 6 weeks. The training program was part of their reeducation program. Spirometric values at rest and dynamic ventilatory responses were studied before and after this training program with a spirometric test, a maximal exercise test that increased by 5W every 2 minutes, and a submaximal test. Spirometric values at rest did not change after training. At maximal exercise, peak ventilation (V e peak, 7.5\%), peak breathing frequency (f peak) (−13.4\%), peak tidal volume (V t peak +28.9\%), and the ventilatory reserve (12.9\%) improved after training. The oxygen cost of V̇ e decreased significantly (−20\%) after training. We observed for the wheelchair tests that, at the same workload after training, V̇ e and f decreased and V t increased. After 6 weeks of our interval-training program in subjects with recent SCI, the increase of V t and the decrease of oxygen cost of V̇ e indicated better ventilatory efficiency.}, author = {Folldemoro, D. and Tordi, N. and Lonsdorfer, E. and Lonsdorfer, J.}, citeulike-article-id = {4784686}, citeulike-linkout-0 = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.apmr.2005.03.018}, citeulike-linkout-1 = {http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0003999305003242}, citeulike-linkout-2 = {http://view.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16084811}, citeulike-linkout-3 = {http://www.hubmed.org/display.cgi?uids=16084811}, doi = {10.1016/j.apmr.2005.03.018}, issn = {00039993}, journal = {Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation}, keywords = {functional\_training, interval-training, middle\_ages, neurology\_physical\_therapy, physical\_therapy, program, pulmonary\_function, randomised\_controlled\_trial, rehabilitation, spinal\_cord\_injury, ventilation, wheelchair}, month = {August}, number = {8}, pages = {1582--1586}, posted-at = {2009-06-28 22:53:48}, priority = {2}, title = {Ventilation Efficiency and Pulmonary Function After a Wheelchair Interval-Training Program in Subjects With Recent Spinal Cord Injury}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.apmr.2005.03.018}, volume = {86}, year = {2005} }
