Abstract

Background: Respiratory musculature function in patients with myelomeningocele (MMC) has not been evaluated sufficiently. Impairment in inspiratory muscles capacity could make patients prone to complications in clinical situations in which the respiratory work is increased. Objective: Evaluate inspiratory muscle function, measured with Maximal Inspiratory Pressure (MTP) in children with MMC. Method: In 13 children with MMC, MIP was obtained according to Black and Hyatt technique, using an aneroid gauge pressure. The results were compared to Szeinberg reference values by t Student, where p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The average age was 11.9
