Description
Expiratory muscle training device (EMT — Expiratory Muscle Training). The patient exhales through adjustable resistance that strengthens the abdominal and intercostal muscles involved in forced expiration. In BO, where airway obstruction impairs exhalation, strengthening the expiratory muscles helps empty the lungs more effectively, cough more efficiently to clear secretions, and reduce air trapping.
