Summary

it will be conducted a randomized parallel controlled trial with patients diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) to compare two techniques to lung recruitment and cough augmentation, to assess their effects on pulmonary function, global functionally, swallowing and ability to speech in these population.

Description

age over 18 years preserved cognition, evidenced by a score greater than or equal to 24 points in the Mini-Mental Status Exam; no barium allergies; without tracheostomy or invasive mechanical ventilation; no diaphragmatic pacemaker and without associated respiratory disease.Participants are excluded if they have pregnancy; previous kidney disease or other concomitant diseases; respiratory diseases and hospitalization in intensive care units (ICUs) during the study.
