Abstract
Pulmonary function tests were performed on 40 patients with neuromuscular disease. The maximum expiratory pressure was the most sensitive indicator of weakness and was decreased in 87% of adult patients. A comparison of Stead-Wells, electronic (Vanguard), and bellows spirometry (Vitalor) indicated an excellent correlation between the Stead-Wells and electronic devices. The bellows spirometer consistently underestimated volumes, particularly in severely weak patients.
