Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a primary disorder of the central nervous system that can affect motor pathways and cause muscle weakness. If respiratory pathways are affected, respiratory muscle weakness contributes…
Multiple Sclerosis is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that often causes respiratory dysfunctions. Patients with severe stages of MS, in fact, can have respiratory muscle weakness. This...
