While emphysema and chronic bronchitis are primarily lung di
seases, one of their major consequences is to deeply affect the
function of the respiratory muscles. Lung hyperinflation shortens
the inspiratory muscles due to increased airways resistance, more
of their effort is demanded and changes in nutritional status wea
ken them further. Their malfunction can lead to severe dyspnea and
to failure of the ventilatory pump. Over the last 10 years we have
witnessed an explosion of information of how respiratory muscles
function in health and disease, new techniques for their evaluation
have been created, the concept of fatigue, weakness, and failure
was developed, and their rest or training was attemp ted. The
implication of respiratory muscles malfunction in respi ratory
medicine has reached a prominent place. It seems remarkable that
while some aspect of skeletal muscles function requires molecular
biology techniques to find new an swers, we still know little on
respiratory muscles interaction, stra tegies of coordination, their
role in dyspnea, chronic hypercapnia or how to effectively improve
their function in patients. This workshop was organized and held at
the Medical Center of Rehabilitation in Montescano and represents
an attempt to focus on how the newly adquired wealth of information
can eventually be trasformed into medical care. The particpants in
this workshop brought forward challenging thoughts and we are most
grateful for their participation. This book represents a report of
the proceedings and also provides the most updated information in
this field.
