EMST150 Muscle Strength Trainer Overview
The EMST150 Expiratory Muscle Strength Trainer is a medical device designed to strengthen the expiratory muscles involved with breathing, coughing, and swallowing. By implementing 15- to 20-minute sessions using the EMST150 Trainer five days a week, patients see improvements in just weeks.1 Therapy is simple and easy to perform by blowing into the mouthpiece starting with the user's maximum expiratory strength. After a week at that setting, the valve and spring knob is turned to the next calibrated line. This helps the user see progress. Since this threshold respiratory trainer is lightweight and portable, it provides convenient support therapy at home or anywhere it's taken.
Vitality Medical offers a wide variety of repiratory muscle strength training Spirometers by top brands.
